Which of the following sets of coordinates names a point in Quadrant II of the coordinate plane?
(-4,-3)
(4,-3)
(-4,3)
(4,3)
In a standard Cartesian coordinate system, the plane is divided into four quadrants by the x-axis and y-axis:
- Quadrant I: x > 0 and y > 0
- Quadrant II: x < 0 and y > 0
- Quadrant III: x < 0 and y < 0
- Quadrant IV: x > 0 and y < 0
So, the coordinates that name a point in Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive, are:
(-4, 3)
