Quadrants
The Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants. These are numbered from I through IV, starting with the upper right and going around counterclockwise. (For some reason everybody uses roman numerals for this).
In Quadrant I, both the x– and y-coordinates are positive; in Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, but the y-coordinate is positive; in Quadrant III both are negative; and in Quadrant IV, x is positive but y is negative.
Points which lie on an axis (i.e., which have at least one coordinate equal to 0) are said not to be in any quadrant. Coordinates of the form (x,0) lie on the horizontal x-axis, and coordinates of the form (0,y) lie on the vertical y-axis.
