Q3 of 4 Page 4

In which quadrant will the point lie, if
(i) the ordinate is 3 and the abscissa is -4?
(ii) the abscissa is -5 and the ordinate is -3?
(iii) the ordinate is 4 and the abscissa is 5?
(iv) the ordinate is 4 and the abscissa is -4?

(i) The point whose ordinate is 3 and the abscissa is -4 lies in II Quadrant.
(ii) The point whose abscissa is -5 and the ordinate is -3 lies in III Quadrant.
(iii) The point whose ordinate is 4 and the abscissa is 5 lies in I Quadrant.
