In what quadrant of the coordinate system does P(9,4) lie

Question

 This question is related to the quadrant of the coordinate system.

Answer 1

The standard format for numbering the quadrants is I, II, III, and IV.

Quadrant I is the upper right corner, and quadrants II, III, and IV follow counterclockwise.

In quadrant I, both x and y are always positive.

In quadrant II, x is always negative and y is always positive.

In quadrant III, both x and y are always negative.

In quadrant IV, x is always positive and y is always negative.

You can also just remember this picture:

 

II  |  I

----|----

III | IV

 

Remember that x is positive to the right of the y-axis,

and y is positive above the x-axis.

So, you have probably already figured out that P(9,4) is in quadrant I, right?

Answer 2

The point P(9, 4) lies in the first quadrant since they both x and y are positive.
