In which of the following quadrants does the point $$ P (2 , -3) $$ lie ?
Correct option is D. IV
We know that, abscissa and coordinates in
First quadrant $$X=$$ positive and $$Y=$$ positive
Second quadrant $$X=$$ negative and $$Y=$$ positive
Third quadrant $$X=$$ negative and $$Y=$$ negative
Fourth quadrant $$X=$$ positive and $$Y= $$ negative
$$(2,-3)$$ has $$X=2,$$ positive and $$Y=-3$$, negative
Therefore point $$P(2,-3)$$ lies in $$IV$$ quadrant.
