in which quadrant is the point (2, - 3) located?
○ quadrant i
○ quadrant ii
○ quadrant iii
○ quadrant iv

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In the coordinate - plane, in Quadrant I, both x and y are positive; in Quadrant II, x is negative and y is positive; in Quadrant III, both x and y are negative; in Quadrant IV, x is positive and y is negative.

Step2: Analyze the given point

The point is (2, - 3). Here, the x - coordinate x = 2>0 and the y - coordinate y=-3 < 0.

Answer:

C. Quadrant IV
