Into how many sections do the two axes cut the coordinate plane?

1. The x-axis runs across and the y-axis runs up and down, and they meet at right angles. 2. Two lines crossing at right angles cut the plane into four sections. 3. Each of those sections is called a quadrant, and they are numbered anticlockwise. _Source: OpenStax College Algebra (CC BY 4.0), section 2.1 The Rectangular Coordinate Systems and Graphs_
