The point (-2√2, -2) lies in which quadrant ?

Question

The point \((-2\sqrt 2,-2)\) lies in which quadrant ?

(A) First

(B) Second

(C) Third

(D) Fourth

Answer 1

Correct option is (C) Third

We know that,

First quadrant: x = positive and y = positive

Second quadrant: x = negative and y = positive

Third quadrant: x = negative and y = negative

Fourth quadrant: x = positive and y = negative

The x-coordinate is \(-2 \sqrt{2}\), which is negative and y-coordinate is -2 , which is also negative.

Therefore, the gives point lies in third quadrant.

Answer 2

The point lies in the (C) Third quadrant.
