Draw a set of coordinate axes as shown below
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph+%28600%2C600%2C-20%2C20%2C-20%2C20%2C0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Note that there are four sections formed by these set axes.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The \"origin\" is the point where the axes cross each other.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Quadrant I (or 1) is the upper right section of the coordinate system. If the origin was the center
\n" ); document.write( "of a clock face, Quadrant I would be the part of the clock face where the hours 12, 1, 2,
\n" ); document.write( "and 3 are located.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Quadrant II (or 2) is the upper left section of this coordinate system. Again, if the coordinate
\n" ); document.write( "system was the face of a clock, Quadrant II would be where the hours 9, 10, 11 and 12 are
\n" ); document.write( "located.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Quadrant III (or 3) is the lower left section of the coordinate system. Quadrant III would be
\n" ); document.write( "that part of the clock face where the hours 6, 7, 8, and 9 are.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Finally Quadrant IV (or 4) is the lower right section of the coordinate system. Quadrant IV
\n" ); document.write( "is that part of a clock face where the hours 3, 4, 5, and 6 are.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the system for numbering the quadrants.
