Can you explain it please?

anonymous · Answer

Quadrant 1(The one you start with): BOTH the X-axis and the Y-axis are positive
Quadrant 2(Left of Quadrant 1): The X-axis is now negative hence the numbers are going backwards, but the Y-axis is still positive since its still going up.
Quadrant 3(Under Quadrant 2): Here both X and Y-axis are negative.
Quadrant 4( Right under Quadrant 1): Here the Y-axis is Negative since its going down and the X- axis is positive since it is still going to the right.
