Question

in which quadrant does point m lie?
quadrant ii
quadrant i
quadrant iv
quadrant iii

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate - plane, in Quadrant I: $x>0,y > 0$; in Quadrant II: $x<0,y>0$; in Quadrant III: $x < 0,y<0$; in Quadrant IV: $x>0,y<0$.

Step2: Analyze the position of point M

Point M has a negative x - coordinate and a negative y - coordinate.

Answer:

Quadrant III
