(N/A) To determine the position of a point $(x, y)$ in the Cartesian plane:
- If $x > 0$ and $y > 0$,it lies in the $I$ quadrant.
- If $x < 0$ and $y > 0$,it lies in the $II$ quadrant.
- If $x < 0$ and $y < 0$,it lies in the $III$ quadrant.
- If $x > 0$ and $y < 0$,it lies in the $IV$ quadrant.
- If $x = 0$,it lies on the $y$-axis.
- If $y = 0$,it lies on the $x$-axis.
