What quadrant would a point be located in if it is on an axis or both?

It won't be located on any of the axis.
It would be said to be on x-axis or on y-axis (or) it would be said to be the origin accordingly.

In which quadrant is the point of origin?
The point of origin is not in any quadrant. In fact, any point on the X or Y axis is not in a quadrant. In order for a point to be in Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4, it must not be on an axis.
Identify the quadrant in which the point x y lies if x 0 and y?
If x = 0 then the point is on the y-axis and so it not in any quadrant.
If a point lies on the x axis what quadrant is it in?
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 having a negative abscissa and negative ordinate is in 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.
The upper right region of the coordinate plane is called?
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 which quadrant would the point 8 0 be located?
The point (8,0) is on an axis (abscissa axis or x-axis) and is therefore not in a quadrant.
Is the point -3-4 located above below or on the x-axis?

How can you tell the quadrant in which a point is located without refferring to the graph?
If the signs of the Cartesian coordinates are: (+, +) => first quadrant (-, +) => second quadrant (-, -) => third quadrant (+, -) => fourth quadrant. If one of the coordinates is 0 then the point is on an axis and NOT in a quadrant. If both coordinates are 0 then the point is at the origin. If the location of the point is given in polar coordinates, then you only need the angle. Suppose the principal angle is Φ, then 0 < Φ < 90 degrees => first quadrant 90 < Φ < 180 => second quadrant 180 < Φ < 270 => third quadrant 270 < Φ < 360 => fourth quadrant. Again, if the angle is 90, 180 etc degrees, the point is on an axis. If the magnitude is 0 then the point is at the origin.
Identify the quadrant in which the point x y lies if x 0 and y?
If x = 0 then the point is on the y-axis and so it not in any quadrant.

Are both x and y axis of a point in quadrant 1 negative?
no, they are both positive.
Are the x-axis and the y-axis in any quadrant?
No the x-axis and y-axis are not in any quadrant. They go between quadrants.
Which quadrant contains -3 0?
Points on the x-axis or y-axis are not in any quadrant. Therefore, (-3,0) is not contained in a quadrant.
The upper right region of the coordinate plane is called?
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).
