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.
