Math Problem Statement

In which quadrant is the point (-2,-3) located?

Quadrant III

Quadrant I

Quadrant IV

Quadrant II

Solution

The point (-2, -3) is located in Quadrant III.

In the coordinate plane:

  • Points in Quadrant III have both xx and yy coordinates negative, which is the case for (-2, -3).

The correct answer is: Quadrant III

Would you like further explanation or have any questions?


  1. What defines the four quadrants in the coordinate plane?
  2. How do you determine the quadrant for any given point?
  3. What is the significance of each quadrant in mathematical applications?
  4. How do positive and negative values of coordinates affect the location of points?
  5. Can points lie on the axis, and if so, how are they classified?

Tip: Remember, if both xx and yy are negative, the point is in Quadrant III.
