Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a Cartesian - coordinate system, in Quadrant I, both \(x\) and \(y\) are positive (\(x>0,y > 0\)); in Quadrant II, \(x<0,y>0\); in Quadrant III, \(x < 0,y<0\); in Quadrant IV, \(x>0,y<0\).

Step2: Analyze the given point

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

Answer:

Quadrant IV
