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.
in 2nd quad y coordinate is positive
The x coordinate in the second quadrant is negative while the y coordinate is positive.

The meaning of the question is not at all clear. Quadrant IV contains points whose x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative. So what is meant by the "point" being negative? Also, quadrant IV is not an operation. So what is meant by its converse?

To assign a point to a quadrant, you need TWO coordinates - the x-coordinate, and the y-coordinate.
Coordinate is the common name. Abscissa is used for the information along the X-axis. Ordinate is used for the information along Y-axis. So abscissa is the x co-ordinate, and ordinate is the y co-ordinate. As they are both negative, then the point must be located in the third quadrant.
