The correct Answer is:
To find the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the fourth quadrant, we need to understand the properties of the coordinates in each quadrant of the Cartesian plane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Quadrants:** - The Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants: - **First Quadrant:** Both x (abscissa) and y (ordinate) are positive. - **Second Quadrant:** x is negative and y is positive. - **Third Quadrant:** Both x and y are negative. - **Fourth Quadrant:** x is positive and y is negative. 2. **Identifying the Fourth Quadrant:** - In the fourth quadrant, the x-coordinate (abscissa) is positive, while the y-coordinate (ordinate) is negative. 3. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, for a point in the fourth quadrant, the coordinates can be represented as (x, -y), where x > 0 and y < 0. ### Final Answer: - The abscissa (x-coordinate) is positive, and the ordinate (y-coordinate) is negative.
