Answer: What is a quadrant of a coordinate plane?

Image result for what is a quadrant in plane geometry

A quadrant are each of the four sections of the coordinate plane. And when we talk about the sections, we're talking about the sections as divided by the coordinate axes. So this right here is the x-axis and this up-down axis is the y-axis. And you can see it divides a coordinate plane into four sections.

Quadrant one (QI) is the top right fourth of the coordinate plane, where there are only positive coordinates. Quadrant two (QII) is the top left fourth of the coordinate plane. Quadrant three (QIII) is the bottom left fourth. Quadrant four (QIV) is the bottom right fourth.

Hope this helps.
