In which quadrant is the ordered pair (-7,11) located?

1 answer

The ordered pair (-7, 11) is located in the second quadrant.

In the Cartesian coordinate system:

  • The first quadrant is where both x and y are positive (x > 0, y > 0).
  • The second quadrant is where x is negative and y is positive (x < 0, y > 0).
  • The third quadrant is where both x and y are negative (x < 0, y < 0).
  • The fourth quadrant is where x is positive and y is negative (x > 0, y < 0).

Since the x-coordinate (-7) is negative and the y-coordinate (11) is positive, the point (-7, 11) is in the second quadrant.
