Question

How are coordinate plane quadrants numbered?

Answer 1

Hint: From the question we have been asked to find how the quadrants in a coordinate plane are numbered. So, for this question we will take the help of an image of a quadrant plane. We will solve this question by explaining briefly how the quadrants are numbered in the coordinate plane by seeing the image or graph of a coordinate plane.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Generally, there are four quadrants in a coordinate plane. The four quadrants in a coordinate plane are numbered in a counter clock wise direction or we can also say it as anti clock wise direction.
 The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional figure in which there are two axis which are x-axis and y-axis.
So, the image of a coordinate plane will be as follows.

Here from the figure we can see that all the four quadrants are numbered in the anti clock wise direction.
From the figure we can conclude that the quadrant \[1\] have all positive values of x and y. in the quadrant \[2\] we have x as negative and y as positive values. In the quadrant \[3\] we have both x and y as negative values.
 Whereas in the quadrant \[4\] we have x as positive and y as negative value
Therefore, in this way quadrants are numbered in a coordinate plane.

Note: Students must have good knowledge in the concept of coordinate planes and must be able to correlate the quadrant system in coordinate planes. Students should not make mistakes in numbering the quadrants for example we should not do the numbering in clockwise direction if we do it will make our solution a wrong one.
