By convention, the plane has four quadrants: (1) the part where x and y are both positive, (2) the diametrically opposite part where x and y are both negative, (3) the part where x is negative and y is positive, and (4) the part where x is positive and y is negative.

An ordered pair can be used to represent a point in any one of these four quadrants.

For instance, (1,5) is in quadrant (1) because both the x and y values are positive; (-3,5) is in quadrant (3) because the x value is negative and the y value is positive.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
