Definition of Quadrant (graph)
The \(x\) and \(y\)-axes divide the plane up into four equal regions called quadrants.
We usually label them using the Roman Numerals, I,II,III and IV:
- In quadrant I, both \(x\) and \(y\) are positive.
- In quadrant II, \(x\) is negative and \(y\) is positive.
- In quadrant III, both \(x\) and \(y\) are negative.
- In quadrant IV, \(x\) is positive and \(y\) is negative.
