A point has coordinates where both x and y are negative. Which quadrant is it in?

AQuadrant I
BQuadrant II
CQuadrant III
DQuadrant IV
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Quadrant III
1. The summary of sign patterns shows Quadrant III as the quadrant where both x and y are negative. 2. Quadrant I has both positive, Quadrant II has negative x with positive y, and Quadrant IV has positive x with negative y, so none of those match both coordinates being negative. 3. Quadrant III is the third quadrant reached when moving counterclockwise from the upper right. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Graphs", section 4.1 Use the Rectangular Coordinate System_
