Into how many sections do the two axes cut the coordinate plane?
ATwo sections
BFour sections
CThree sections
DEight sections
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Four sections
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.
