Select the point which lies in the second quadrant. (2,3) (-5,-4) (2,-6) (-1,1)

Understand Second Quadrant: Understand the characteristics of the second quadrant. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the second quadrant is where x is negative and y is positive.Evaluate Point (2,3): Evaluate each point to determine if it lies in the second quadrant. Point (2,3): x is positive, y is positive. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.Evaluate Point (-5,-4): Evaluate the next point. Point (-5,-4): x is negative, y is negative. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.Evaluate Point (2,-6): Evaluate the third point. Point (2,-6): x is positive, y is negative. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.Evaluate Point (-1,1): Evaluate the last point. Point (-1,1): x is negative, y is positive. This meets the criteria for the second quadrant.

(-1,1)

Understand Second Quadrant: Understand the characteristics of the second quadrant. $\newline$ In the Cartesian coordinate system, the second quadrant is where $x$ is negative and $y$ is positive.
Evaluate Point $2,3$ : Evaluate each point to determine if it lies in the second quadrant. $\newline$ Point $2,3$ : $x$ is positive, $y$ is positive. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.
Evaluate Point $(-5,-4)$ : Evaluate the next point. $\newline$ Point $(-5,-4)$ : $x$ is negative, $y$ is negative. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.
Evaluate Point $(2,-6)$ : Evaluate the third point. $\newline$ Point $(2,-6)$ : $x$ is positive, $y$ is negative. This does not meet the criteria for the second quadrant.
Evaluate Point $(-1,1)$ : Evaluate the last point. $\newline$ Point $(-1,1)$ : $x$ is negative, $y$ is positive. This meets the criteria for the second quadrant.
