alleryThe point (3, -2) lies in which quadrant?
AFirst quadrant
BFourth quadrant
CSecond quadrant
DThird quadrant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Fourth quadrant
1. x = 3 > 0 and y = -2 < 0.
2. Positive x with negative y locates a point below the x-axis to the right.
3. That region is the fourth quadrant.
4. So option A is correct.
