Neither.
Quadrant.
Quadrant II (Quadrant 2) is the region of the coordinate plane (xy-plane, a graph) that is above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis. In this quadrant, all x values are positive and all y values are negative.
Everything above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis is called the "First Quadrant". At every point in this quadrant, 'x' and 'y' are both positive (or zero).
In general, any point that falls on the axes, is not considered to be in any quadrant. This answer is used in most HS texts since it is simple and "works." However, you can define things so that a point with a single zero coordinate will either (1) be common to the two adjacent quadrants, or (2) be part of one and only one quadrant. Here is how to do the second choice. associate the positive x-axis with quadrant I, the positive y-axis with quadrant II, the negative x-axis with quadrant III, and the negative y-axis with quadrant IV. Then what do we do about (0,0)? This is why the first answer works and if most often used. The other possibilities are only mentioned so you can see they exists.
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).
there is quadrant 1 , quadrant 2 , quadrant 3 , and quadrant 4

Quadrant II (Quadrant 2) is the region of the coordinate plane (xy-plane, a graph) that is above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis. In this quadrant, all x values are positive and all y values are negative.
It is a quarter of the plane: a quarter of a turn from one axis to the next.
Everything above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis is called the "First Quadrant". At every point in this quadrant, 'x' and 'y' are both positive (or zero).
the first coordinate goes on the X axis, either positive (To the right of the Y axis) or negative (to the left of the Y axis). The second coordinate goes on the Y axis, either positive (above the X axis) or negative (below the X axis).

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).
The word abscissa can either refer the horizontal axis (the x-axis) in a cartesian coordinate system or the actual coordinate plotted on the horizontal axis.
