Q. In which quadrant does the point (−5,3) lie?1st Quadrant2nd Quadrant3rd Quadrant4th Quadrant
Identify Sign of x-coordinate: Identify the sign of the x-coordinate.The x-coordinate of the point (−5,3) is −5, which is less than 0.
Identify Sign of y-coordinate: Identify the sign of the y-coordinate.The y-coordinate of the point (−5,3) is 3, 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 Quadrant: Match the signs of the coordinates to the correct quadrant.The quadrant where x is negative and y is positive is the 2nd Quadrant.
