Without plotting the points indicate the quadrant in which they will lie, if a)ordinate is 5 , abcissa is -3
b)abcissa -5 and ordinate is -3
c)abcissa is -5 and ordinate is 3
d)abcissa is5 and ordinate is 3
​

a) 2nd quadrant

b) 3rd quadrant

c) 2nd quadrant

d) 1st quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about ordinate, we mean the y axis value

abscissa is the x axis value

There are four quadrants with the following distribution of signs;

1st quadrant: positive x and positive y

2nd quadrant: negative x and positive y

3rd quadrant; negative x and negative y

4th quadrant ; positive x and negative y

a) (-3,5)

negative x and positive y; this is the 2nd quadrant

b) (-5,-3)

Negative x and negative y, this is the 3rd quadrant

c) (-5 , 3)

Negative x and positive y; 2nd quadrant

d) (5,3)

Positive x and positive y; 1st quadrant
