Question

identify the quadrant or axis that the following point lies on. if the point lies on an axis, specify which part (positive or negative) of which axis (x or y). (-2, -1)
answer
selecting an option will display any further inputs needed to complete your answer.
quadrant i
quadrant ii
quadrant iii
quadrant iv
axis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate - plane, Quadrant I has positive x and positive y ($x>0,y > 0$), Quadrant II has negative x and positive y ($x<0,y>0$), Quadrant III has negative x and negative y ($x < 0,y<0$), and Quadrant IV has positive x and negative y ($x>0,y < 0$).

Step2: Analyze the given point

For the point $(-2,-1)$, the x - coordinate $x=-2<0$ and the y - coordinate $y = - 1<0$.

Answer:

Quadrant III
