In which quadrant is the point (-5, -4) in?

Question

II

IV

I

III

Answer 1

The point (-5, -4) is located in the third quadrant (III).

In the Cartesian coordinate system:

• Quadrant I has both x and y positive.
• Quadrant II has x negative and y positive.
• Quadrant III has both x and y negative.
• Quadrant IV has x positive and y negative.

Since both coordinates of the point (-5, -4) are negative, it is in quadrant III.
