In the context of a circle or the coordinate plane, quadrants are the four quarters defined either by two mutually perpendicular radii or the coordinate axes.
I assume you mean (8, 0). If one or both of the coordinates are zero, the point is not in any of the four quadrants. Instead, it is on the axes - between two quadrants.
They are the quarters of a circle which are created by two straight lines intersecting at right angles at its centre.
Quadrants are usually the four parts of a circle that are created by the two coordinate axes - in 2-dimensional space. Octants are their 3-dimensional counterparts: they are the eight shapes created by the three [orthogonal] coordinate planes.
The two axes in a simple graph divide the plane into four parts. Each part is known as a quadrant.
