Question 690694: Choose the location of the point (17, -16)
Answer by josmiceli(19441)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can tell which quadrant a point is in
by looking at the signs of the numbers:
1st quadrant: ( +,+ )
2nd quadrant: ( -,+ )
3rd quadrant: ( -,- )
4th quadrant: ( +,- )
-----------------
You have ( +,- ), so
it's in the 4th quadrant
Move 17 units to the right of the origin
and then 16 units down. This is ( 17.-16 )
in the 4th quadrant
