(-5, -2 )
The +-5+ for the x-value tells me that
I am restricted to either quadrant 2 or 3
--------------------------------------
Then the +-2+ for a y-value tells me that
I am restricted to either quadrant 3 or 4
--------------------------------------
Quadrant 3 is the common one, so the point
( -5, -2 ) must be in quadrant 3
