Question

What are quadrants.​

Answer 1

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the (x; y) coordinates are I (+; +), II (−; +), III (−; −), and IV (+; −).

Answer 2

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian plane system that divide the plane into four infinite regions are called quadrants. The two axes are X-axis and Y-axis respectively. The intersection of these two axes is called the reference point. The sign notation of the four quadrants are given below:

Quadrants X coordinate Y coordinate

First Positive Positive

Second Negative Positive

Third Negative Negative

Fourth Positive Negative
