Question

in which quadrant is the point (-2, -3) located?
quadrant i
quadrant ii
quadrant iv
quadrant iii

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the sign of coordinates

In a coordinate system, for a point \((x,y)\), if \(x<0\) and \(y < 0\), we analyze the quadrant.
For the point \((-2,-3)\), \(x=-2<0\) and \(y = - 3<0\).

Step2: Recall quadrant definitions

Quadrant I: \(x>0,y>0\); Quadrant II: \(x<0,y>0\); Quadrant III: \(x<0,y<0\); Quadrant IV: \(x>0,y<0\).

Answer:

Quadrant III
