Q. In which quadrant does the point (−8,−6) lie?Quadrant 1Quadrant 2Quadrant 3Quadrant 4
Identify x-coordinate sign: Identify the sign of the x-coordinate.The x-coordinate of the point (−8,−6) is −8, which is less than 0.
Identify y-coordinate sign: Identify the sign of the y-coordinate.The y-coordinate of the point (−8,−6) is −6, which is also less than 0.
Determine quadrant based on signs: Determine the quadrant based on the signs of the x and y coordinates. Since both x and y coordinates are negative, the point lies in the quadrant where both x and y are negative.
Identify the quadrant: Identify the quadrant.The quadrant where both x and y coordinates are negative is Quadrant III.
