Which of the following points lies in the fourth quadrant?
Pick one
Solution
To determine which of the given points lies in the fourth quadrant, we need to recall that in the Cartesian coordinate system, the fourth quadrant is where and . This means point is in the second quadrant, not the fourth quadrant.
- For point with coordinates , we observe that and and . These conditions place point in the first quadrant, not the fourth quadrant.
- Lastly, for point with coordinates , it's found that and .
Therefore, the correct answer is .
