Q. In which quadrant does the point (−4,8) lie?Quadrant 1Quadrant 2Quadrant 3Quadrant 4
Identify sign of x-coordinate: Identify the sign of the x-coordinate.The x-coordinate of the point (−4,8) is −4, which is less than 0.
Identify sign of y-coordinate: Identify the sign of the y-coordinate.The y-coordinate of the point (−4,8) is 8, which is greater than 0.
Determine quadrant based on signs: Determine the quadrant based on the signs of the x and y coordinates.Since the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive, the point lies in the quadrant where x is negative and y is positive.
Match signs to correct quadrant: Match the signs of the coordinates to the correct quadrant. Negative x and positive y coordinates correspond to Quadrant II.
