GCSE Maths Practice: coordinates

Question 6 of 10

Determine which quadrant a point lies in.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{In which quadrant is the point } (-3,4)\text{ located?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( \text{Quadrant I} \) \( \text{Quadrant II} \) \( \text{Quadrant III} \) \( \text{Quadrant IV} \)

Check the signs of x and y to locate the quadrant.

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants. Quadrant I has positive x and y, Quadrant II has negative x and positive y, Quadrant III has both negative, and Quadrant IV has positive x and negative y. For example, (-3,4) lies in Quadrant II because x is negative and y is positive. Understanding quadrants is essential for graphing, transformations, and geometry problems. Practice identifying quadrants for different points to build confidence and accuracy.
