A non-zero ordinate refers to a point on the Cartesian plane where the y-coordinate (ordinate) is not zero. This means the point is located either above or below the x-axis. Therefore, such points can be found in the first quadrant (where both coordinates are positive) or the second quadrant (where the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive), as well as in the third quadrant (where both coordinates are negative) and the fourth quadrant (where the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative).
Negative abscissa (x), positive ordinate (y).
It is the description of a point in the first quadrant in a Cartesian plane.
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
In the first case the point has positive abscissa as well as ordinate, whereas in the second, the abscissa is negative. But nothing "happens". The world does not end!
Yes, you can determine the quadrant of a point based on its coordinates (x, y). If both x and y are positive, the point is in the first quadrant; if x is negative and y is positive, it's in the second quadrant; if both are negative, it's in the third quadrant; and if x is positive and y is negative, it's in the fourth quadrant. If either coordinate is zero, the point lies on one of the axes: the x-axis if y is zero and the y-axis if x is zero.
The fourth quadrant
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.
Negative abscissa (x), positive ordinate (y).
The 2nd quadrant and 4th quadrant would be where a point would lie if it's abscissa and ordinate are numerically equal but of opposite signs.
A point with a zero abscissa (x-coordinate) and a negative ordinate (y-coordinate) would lie in the fourth quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system. In this quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive or zero, while the y-coordinate is negative. This means that the point would be to the right of the y-axis (positive x-direction) and below the x-axis (negative y-direction).
It is the description of a point in the first quadrant in a Cartesian plane.
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.
2nd and 3rd quadrant
In Quadrant I a point would lie if its abscissa and ordinates are equal.
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
You have to take some decisions. In a programming language, that might be done with an "if" statement.
