How to determine where is found a point in the cartezian plane ?

To locate any point in Cartesian system of coordinates we
have to know the pairs of coordinates (x,y).

The Cartesian
plane is divided in 4 quadrants by the x and y axis.

The
point may be found in one of the 4 quadrants of the Cartesian
plane.

To determine the exact location of a point, we'll
have to know the values of its coordinates.

If the point is
located in the 1st quadrant, the values of x and y will be both
positive.

If the point is located in the 2nd quadrant, the
values of x will be negative and the values of y will
be positive.

If the point is located in the 3rd quadrant,
the values of x and y will be both negative.

If the point
is located in the 4th quadrant, the values of x will be positive and the vallues of
y will be negative.

The coordinates, which
may be positive or negative, are found with respect to the quadrants of Cartesian
plane.
