Determine the quadrant in which the point lies.
- AFirst quadrant
- BSecond quadrant
- CThird quadrant
- DFourth quadrant
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the point be , where:
*
*
We know that . Evaluating the signs of the coordinates:
* (which is negative, )
* (which is positive, )
In the coordinate plane, points with a negative -coordinate and a positive -coordinate lie strictly in the second quadrant.
