Question

What is the order of quadrants in a graph?

Answer 1

Hint: From the question we have been asked to find how the quadrants in a coordinate plane of a graph are numbered or ordered. So, for this question we will take the help of an image of a graph with a quadrant plane. We will solve this question by explaining briefly how the quadrants are numbered in the graph.

Complete step by step solution:
Generally, there are four quadrants in a coordinate plane of a graph. The four quadrants in a coordinate plane are numbered in a counterclockwise direction or we can also say it as an anticlockwise direction.
The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional figure in which there are two axes which are x-axis and y-axis.
So, the image of a graph with a coordinate plane will be as follows.

Here from the figure we can see that all the four quadrants in the graph are numbered in the anticlockwise direction.
From the figure we can conclude that the quadrant $$1$$ has all positive values of x and y. In the quadrant $$2$$ we have x as negative and y as positive values. In the quadrant $$3$$ we have both x and y as negative values.
 Whereas in the quadrant $$4$$ we have x as positive and y as negative value
Therefore, in this way quadrants are numbered or ordered in a coordinate plane.

Note: Students must have good knowledge in the concept of coordinate planes in graphs and must be able to correlate the quadrant system in coordinate planes. Students should not make mistakes in numbering the quadrants for example we should not do the numbering or in clockwise direction if we do it will make our solution a wrong one.
