In which quadrant does a point with a negative x and positive y reside?

  1. Quadrant I

  2. Quadrant II

  3. Quadrant III

  4. Quadrant IV

The correct answer is: Quadrant II

A point with a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate is located in Quadrant II of the Cartesian coordinate system. In this quadrant, the x-values are negative, indicating that the point lies to the left of the origin, while the y-values are positive, placing the point above the origin. Quadrant I contains points where both x and y are positive, Quadrant III has both coordinates negative, and Quadrant IV has a positive x and negative y. Hence, the defining characteristics of Quadrant II align perfectly with the scenario of having a negative x and a positive y.
