A point has x equal to negative 1 and y equal to 3. In which quadrant does the point (-1, 3) lie?

1. Look at the sign of each coordinate: x is negative and y is positive. 2. A negative x-value paired with a positive y-value places the point in Quadrant II. 3. Quadrant I needs both coordinates positive, and Quadrants III and IV both require a negative y-value, so none of those match this point. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 "Graphs", section 11.1 Use the Rectangular Coordinate System_
