 |
| |
| The four quadrants formed by the ordinate axes are numbered as shown in the figure. |
| |
| The table below shows the sign of the coordinates of the point in different quadrants. |
| |
 |
| |
| The following table shows the position of some points in the quadrants. |
| |
 |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| Name the quadrants in which the following points lie |
| |
| A (-6,1), B (8, -4), C (4,6), D (-7, -7), E (0,5), F (9,0), G (-6,0), |
| |
| H (0, -8). |
| |
| Suggested answer: |
| |
| Point A lies in II quadrant. |
| |
| Point B lies in IV quadrant. |
| |
| Point C lies in I quadrant. |
| |
| Point D lies in III quadrant. |
| |
| Point E lies on y-axis above the origin. |
| |
| Point F lies on x-axis to the right of origin. |
| |
| Point G lies on x-axis to the left of the origin. |
| |
| Point H lies on y-axis below the origin. |
