More help ?

anonymous · Answer

yes please I need a little more help.

solomonzelman · Answer

Okay, sure
This is the rule for the points (to determine in which quadrant they are)

Quadrant 1  ( + , + )
`Quadrant 2  ( - , + )`
Quadrant 3  ( - , + )
`Quadrant 1  ( + , - )`

`-`  is any negative number.
`+` is any positive number.

(Imaginary or complex values are not included)
