The correct Answer is:
To determine in which quadrant the point `(3, -2)` lies, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Coordinate System The Cartesian coordinate system is divided into four quadrants: - **First Quadrant (I)**: where both x and y are positive (x > 0, y > 0) - **Second Quadrant (II)**: where x is negative and y is positive (x < 0, y > 0) - **Third Quadrant (III)**: where both x and y are negative (x < 0, y < 0) - **Fourth Quadrant (IV)**: where x is positive and y is negative (x > 0, y < 0) ### Step 2: Identify the Coordinates The given point is `(3, -2)`. Here: - The x-coordinate is `3` (which is positive). - The y-coordinate is `-2` (which is negative). ### Step 3: Determine the Quadrant Since the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative, we can conclude that the point lies in the **Fourth Quadrant (IV)**. ### Final Answer The point `(3, -2)` lies in the **Fourth Quadrant**. ---
