What are the numbers of a quadrants?

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.

How do you label quadrants in math?

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.
