The point P(-3, -4) lies in
ASecond quadrant
BFirst quadrant
CThird quadrant
DFourth quadrant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Third quadrant
1. x = -3 < 0 and y = -4 < 0.
2. Both co-ordinates negative locate the point in the lower-left region.
3. That region is the third quadrant.
4. So option A is correct.
