We learned to specify the position of points in two-dimensional space by ordered pairs in the form of (x, y). X is the horizontal distance from the vertical axis (y-axis). Y is the vertical distance from the horizontal axis (x-axis). The x and y axes intersect at the point (0, 0). The axes are divided into four quadrants as follows:
Quadrant I: x > 0, y > 0 (both coordinates are positive)
Quadrant II: x < 0, y > 0 (x is negative, y is positive)
Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0 (both coordinates are negative)
Quadrant IV: x > 0, y < 0 (x is positive, y is negative)
