Which of the Cartesian quadrant is positive positive direction?

In Quadrant I, both the x- and y-coordinates are positive; in Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, but the y-coordinate is positive; in Quadrant III both are negative; and in Quadrant IV x is positive but y is negative.

What side of the coordinate plane is positive?

Starting from the origin, go along the x-axis in a positive direction (right) and along the y-axis in a negative direction (down). Once you know about the quadrants in the coordinate plane, you can determine the quadrant of an ordered pair without even graphing it by looking at the chart above.

Is left positive or negative on a graph?

To plot a point, start at the origin and count along the x axis until you reach the x coordinate, count right for positive numbers, left for negative.

Can Cartesian coordinates be negative?

On the Y-axis, vertical direction, the positive value indicates a position above the origin while a negative value indicates one below. If X has a value of zero, the position of the coordinate is not to the right or left of the origin. It would be at some point on the Y-axis.

In which quadrant both the coordinates are positive?

In Quadrant I, both the x– and y-coordinates are positive; in Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, but the y-coordinate is positive; in Quadrant III both are negative; and in Quadrant IV, x is positive but y is negative.

Why are the quadrants numbered counterclockwise?

The decision that a circle should be labelled counterclockwise was made by the ancient Babylonians long before any surviving mathematical works, so nobody really knows why it was made.

Which sides are negative on a coordinate plane?

negative numbers are numbers less than zero. FOr example on the x axis, the left side consists of numbers that are negative meaning left on 0,0(origin) which is in the middle. On the right side are positive numbers. On Y, the upper side is positive, and the down side are negative numbers.

Which way is positive on a graph?

A way to remember this is to think about the numbers are on the x-axis. Going to the right of the origin are the positive values, and going to the left of the origin are the negative values.

Why are some angles on the coordinate plane positive and some negative?

Angles that turn in a counterclockwise direction are positive angles, while angles that turn in a clockwise direction are negative. All angles have an initial side and a terminal side. There are four quadrants on the coordinate plane, and they are labeled in a counterclockwise direction.

In which quadrant does the point lie whose both coordinates are negative?

(c) A point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in III quadrant because, in III quadrant x-coordinate and y-coordinate both are negative.

In which quadrant the following point lies whose both coordinates are negative?

If both x and y are negative, then the point lies in the third quadrant. If x is positive and y is negative, then the point lies in the fourth quadrant.
