Given the point:
(-1, 4)
Determine which quadrant is the point located.
Explanation:
In order to determine which quadrant the point is located, we simply need to familiarize ourselves with the sign of x and y on the 4 quadrants of the cartesian coordinate plane.
Quadrant I = +x, +y
Quadrant II = -x, +y
Quadrant III = -x, -y
Quadrant IV = +x, -y
Since we have a negative x, and a positive y, this means that the point is in the second quadrant.
Final answer:
Quadrant II
