SOLUTION: I have a question that states; Determine the quadrant in which (x,y) is located so that the conditions are satisfied. x<0 and y=4. This would be in quadrant 1, wouldn't it?

In which quadrant does (x<0, 4) lie?
Well, if x<0 this means that x is negative, right?, so where is a point whose x- and y-coordinates are (-x, 4)
If you recall, the signs of the x- and y-coordinates (x, y) go like this:
In quadrant I (+, +)
In quadrant II (-, +)
In quadrant III (-, -) In quadrant IV (+, -)
So, a point with coordinates (-x, 4) or (-, +) would lie in quadrant II
