Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a Cartesian plane,the coordinate system is divided into four quadrants. In the first quadrant,both $x$ and $y$ coordinates are positive $(+,+)$. In the second quadrant,the $x$-coordinate (abscissa) is negative and the $y$-coordinate (ordinate) is positive $(-,+)$. In the third quadrant,both coordinates are negative $(-,-)$. In the fourth quadrant,the $x$-coordinate is positive and the $y$-coordinate is negative $(+,-)$. Therefore,for a point in the second quadrant,the signs are $(-,+)$.

Signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are respectively
