What is a quadrant in coordinates?

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the two coordinates are (+,+)), II (?,+), III (?,?), and IV (+,?). read more

The number of units you move along the axes are the point's coordinates. Since you moved 6 positive units along the x-axis, the point's x-coordinate is 6. Since you moved 2 positive units along the y-axis, the point's y-coordinate is 2. To name a point, we use its x-coordinate followed by its y-coordinate in parentheses. read more

The four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the (x,y) coordinates are (+,+)), II (−,+), III (−,−), and IV (+,−). read more
