The normal convention used in the Cartesian coordinate system is that everything above the x axis is positive and everything below the x axis is negative, and everything to the right of the y axis is positive, and everything to the left of the y axis is negative (the two axes are themselves neither positive nor negative, they represent zero). Since points on a graph are identified by an ordered number pair, giving first the value of x and then the value of y, there are two numbers; you can have two positive numbers, or you can have one positive and one negative number, or you can have two negative numbers. The point that you are graphing will be located in the appropriate quadrant of the graph. Two positives are in the upper right hand quadrant, two negatives are in the lower left hand quadrant, and a positive and a negative can be either the upper left hand quadrant or the lower right hand quadrant.

What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
Is the y coordinate of a point in quadrant II is negative?
in 2nd quad y coordinate is positive
What quadrant is A point having a negative abscissa and negative ordinate?
The negative ordinate represents a negative y coordinate. A negative abscissa implies a negative x coordinate. Therefore the coordinate should look like (-x,-y). These coordinates are located at third quadrant.
What must be true about the coordinates of any point that lies in the second quadrant?
The x coordinate in the second quadrant is negative while the y coordinate is positive.
What is a rotation of 90 degrees about the origin?
You could rotate it in either direction, like a steering wheel. -- If you rotate the whole plane 90 degrees to the left, then the old x-coordinate of every point becomes its new y-coordinate, and its old y-coordinate becomes its negative x-coordinate. -- If you rotate the whole plane 90 degrees to the right, then the old x-coordinate of every point becomes its new negative y-coordinate, and its old y-coordinate becomes its new x-coordinate.
What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
How would you plot the point(-810)on a coordinate plane?
putting a dot
A point that has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate is located in which quadrant?
2
Is the y coordinate of a point in quadrant II is negative?
in 2nd quad y coordinate is positive
What point is located on the y negative axis coordinate grid?
First you'll have to specify what point on the coordinate plane on negative y axis otherwise it'll be anything like (-6,-9) or (-3,-8) or basically any coordinate with two negative numbers.
In which quadrant are both x and y negative?
The third (or SouthWest) quadrant.
A point that has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate is located in which quadrant?
quadrent IV(4)
How can you name a point on a graph?
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.
How does using coordinate geometry help you determine what type of quadrilateral you are looking at?
If your point is positive positive it is in 1. If tour point is negative positive it is in 2. If your point it negative negative it is in 3. And if your point it positive negative it is in 4.
What quadrant is A point having a negative abscissa and negative ordinate?
The negative ordinate represents a negative y coordinate. A negative abscissa implies a negative x coordinate. Therefore the coordinate should look like (-x,-y). These coordinates are located at third quadrant.
Is the x coordinate of a point that lies on the x-axis negative?
If it is on the X-axis, the the value of x is zero so it is not negative.
What is a coordinate plot?
A coordinate is a dot that you put on an angle to determine it
