Plot (X, Y) and select the quadrant in which the point lies.
Coordinates are listed as (\blue{x},\green{y}).
So, for ( \blue{X}, \green{Y} ) our x-coordinate
is \blue{X} and our y-coordinate is \green{Y}.
The x-coordinate tells how far we move to the right from the origin and the
y-coordinate tells us how far we move up from the origin.
Since our x-coordinate is positivenegative,
we move \blue{abs( X )} to the rightleft.
Since our y-coordinate is positive negative,
we move \green{abs( Y )} up down.
Move the point to ( \blue{X}, \green{Y} ) at the marked point above.
Now that we have our point plotted, we can figure out the quadrant.
By convention, quadrants are named with a capital \text{Q} and a roman numeral, starting in the upper right quadrant as \text{QI} and rotating counter-clockwise.
Since our point is in the
upperlower
rightleft
portion of the graph, the quadrant is \purple{\text{QUADRANT}}.
