Question

In which quadrant does the point (2,-4) lies.

  1. 1st
  2. 2nd
  3. 3rd
  4. 4th

hintHint:

For First Quadrant Both X and Y must be non-negative, For Second Quadrant X is non-positive and Y is non-negative, For third Quadrant Both X and Y must be non-positive and For Fourth Quadrant X must be non-negative and Y must non-positive.

The correct answer is: 4th


    Step1: For First Quadrant.
    For the point to lie in the first quadrant:
    The X-Coordinate must be non-negative, and the Y-Coordinate must be non-negative.
    Step2: For Second Quadrant
    For the point to lie in second quadrant:
    The X-Coordinate must be non-positive, and the Y-Coordinate must be non-negative
    Step3: For third quadrant:
    For the point to lie in the third quadrant:
    The X-Coordinate must be non-positive, and the Y-Coordinate also must be non-positive.
    Step4: For Fourth Quadrant
    For the point to lie in the fourth quadrant:
    The X-Coordinate must be non-negative, and the Y-coordinate must be non-positive.
    Here in the given question we can easily see that the X-Coordinate is positive and the Y-Coordinate is negative. So, the given point left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 right parenthesis lies in the 4 to the power of t h end exponent Quadrant.
