The tangent and cotangent functions.
If you are familiar with trigonometric functions defined in terms of the unit circle, the x and y coordinates are negative in the third quadrant. As a result, x/y, the ratio that defines cotangent, is positive.
To find the quadrant and sign of the cotangent function for -495 degrees, first, convert it to a positive angle by adding 360 degrees until the angle is within the standard range. -495 + 720 = 225 degrees. The angle 225 degrees is in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine are negative, making cotangent (which is the ratio of cosine to sine) positive. Thus, cot(-495 degrees) is positive and located in the third quadrant.
Quadrant angles are angles formed in the coordinate plane by the x-axis and y-axis. Each quadrant is a region bounded by the x-axis and y-axis, and is numbered counterclockwise starting from the positive x-axis. The angles in each quadrant have specific characteristics based on their trigonometric ratios, such as sine, cosine, and tangent values. In trigonometry, understanding quadrant angles is crucial for determining the sign of trigonometric functions and solving equations involving angles.
There are four quadrants. They are represented by Roman numerals : I(one), II(two), III(three), IV(four). The first quadrant contains all positive points , (+x, +y) The second quadrant contains negative x's and positive y's , (-x, +y) The third quadrant is all negative , (-x, -y) The fourth quadrant has negative y's and positive x's , (+x, -y)
Third quadrant. From the origin (0,0) and on the positive x-axis. Move an arrow/line clockwise from this axis by 135 degrees. The first 90 degrees are in the bottom right (4th)quandrant. The next 90 degrees(to 180 degrees ; includes 135) will be in the bottom left (3rd) quadrant. NB From the positive x-axis ,moving anti-clockwise about the origin the angles are positive. When moving clockwise from the same axis the angles are negative.
If you are familiar with trigonometric functions defined in terms of the unit circle, the x and y coordinates are negative in the third quadrant. As a result, x/y, the ratio that defines cotangent, is positive.
The third quadrant.
The coordinates must be as follows: First quadrant: positive, positive Second quadrant: negative, positive Third quadrant: negative, negative Fourth quadrant: positive, negative

y=6x is in the third quadrant while x is negative and in the first quadrant while x is positive.
In the third quadrant, both the x and y coordinates are negative. Since tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle, in the third quadrant where both sides are negative, the tangent of an angle theta will be positive. Therefore, tan theta is not negative in the third quadrant.
The Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants. These quadrants are determined by the signs of the x and y coordinates: the first quadrant (positive x, positive y), the second quadrant (negative x, positive y), the third quadrant (negative x, negative y), and the fourth quadrant (positive x, negative y).
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.

The x- and y-coordinates have the same sign in the first and third quadrants. In the first quadrant, both x and y are positive, while in the third quadrant, both x and y are negative. Therefore, the correct quadrants are Quadrant I and Quadrant III.
If a number is located on the x-axis, it is in either the first or fourth quadrant, depending on whether it is positive or negative. If it is on the y-axis, it is in either the first or second quadrant for positive values or third or fourth for negative values. Points that lie exactly on the axes do not belong to any quadrant.
