Q. In which quadrant does the point (−8,−7) lie?Quadrant 1Quadrant 2Quadrant 3Quadrant 4
Identify x-coordinate sign: Identify the sign of the x-coordinate.The x-coordinate of the point (−8,−7) 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,−7) is −7, which is also less than 0.
Determine quadrant: Determine the quadrant based on the signs of the x and y coordinates.Since both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative, the point (−8,−7) lies in the quadrant where both x and y are negative.
Identify negative quadrant: Identify the quadrant where both x and y are negative.Both x and y are negative in Quadrant III.
