A point has x equal to negative 3 and y equal to negative 4. In which quadrant does the point (-3, -4) lie?

1. Look at the sign of each coordinate: x is negative and y is negative. 2. A negative x-value paired with a negative y-value places the point in Quadrant III. 3. Quadrant II needs a positive y-value, and Quadrant IV needs a positive x-value, so neither matches this point. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 "Graphs", section 11.1 Use the Rectangular Coordinate System_
