Question

what is the converse of the following conditional? if a point is in the fourth quadrant, then its coordinates are negative.
if a point is not in the fourth quadrant, then the coordinates of the point are not negative.
if the coordinates of a point are negative, then the point is in the fourth quadrant.
if a point is in the fourth quadrant, then its coordinates are negative.
if the coordinates of a point are not negative, then the point is not in the fourth quadrant.

Explanation:

The converse of a conditional statement "if p then q" is "if q then p". Here, p is "a point is in the fourth quadrant" and q is "its coordinates are negative". So the converse is formed by swapping p and q.

Answer:

If the coordinates of a point are negative, then the point is in the fourth quadrant.
