Question
in which quadrant does the point \\((4, -3)\\) lie?
\\(\bigcirc\\) i
\\(\bigcirc\\) ii
\\(\bigcirc\\) iii
\\(\bigcirc\\) iv
Identify the coordinates of the point
The given point is \((4, -3)\). Here, the x-coordinate is \(x = 4\) and the y-coordinate is \(y = -3\).
Analyze the signs of the coordinates
The x-coordinate is positive (\(x > 0\)) and the y-coordinate is negative (\(y < 0\)).
Determine the corresponding quadrant
In the Cartesian plane, the four quadrants are defined by the signs of the coordinates:
- Quadrant I: \(x > 0, y > 0\)
- Quadrant II: \(x < 0, y > 0\)
- Quadrant III: \(x < 0, y < 0\)
- Quadrant IV: \(x > 0, y < 0\)
Since \(x = 4\) (positive) and \(y = -3\) (negative), the point lies in Quadrant IV.
