It is because angles are measured counter-clockwise for the horizontal x-axis.
Counter clockwise.
In a Cartesian coordinate system, the plane is divided into four quadrants. The first quadrant (Quadrant I) is where both x and y coordinates are positive, the second quadrant (Quadrant II) has negative x and positive y values, the third quadrant (Quadrant III) has both coordinates negative, and the fourth quadrant (Quadrant IV) features positive x and negative y values. Quadrants are typically numbered counterclockwise, starting from the upper right.
Remember that it goes counterclockwise in a C shape, starting with the first quadrant.
Quadrants I and III, numbered from I at upper right (+, +) left and moving clockwise. The line passes through the origin (0,0).
Yes, the axes divide the Cartesian plane into four regions known as quadrants. These quadrants are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV, starting from the upper right and proceeding counterclockwise. Each quadrant corresponds to different combinations of positive and negative values for the x and y coordinates.

Quadrants are usually numbered, using roman numerals, I through IV starting at the top right and going counter-clockwise.
One of the four sections of a graph divided by the x and y axis is called a quadrant. There are four quadrants in total, numbered I, II, III, and IV, starting in the top-right and moving counter-clockwise.
They are called "quadrants".
In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system is divided into four quadrants. These quadrants are labeled as follows: Quadrant I (top right) where both x and y are positive, Quadrant II (top left) where x is negative and y is positive, Quadrant III (bottom left) where both x and y are negative, and Quadrant IV (bottom right) where x is positive and y is negative. The labeling typically starts from Quadrant I and moves counterclockwise.
only in quadrants 2 and 3
There are 4 quadrants in a circle
