In which quadrant does the point (-3, 5) lie?

  • A.First quadrant (i)
  • B.Second quadrant (ii)
  • C.Third quadrant (iii)
  • D.Fourth quadrant (iv)

Answer: B

The Cartesian coordinate system is divided into four quadrants.

  • Quadrant I: (+x, +y)
  • Quadrant II: (-x, +y)
  • Quadrant III: (-x, -y)
  • Quadrant IV: (+x, -y)

Since the point has a negative x-coordinate (-3) and a positive y-coordinate (5), it lies in the Second Quadrant.
