Which quadrant does (26,13) lie?

Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

#(26,13)# is in first quadrant.

In the coordinates #(26,13)#, #26# is abscissa and #13# is ordinate.

Both are positive in the first quadrant.

While the ordinate is positive in the second quadrant, the abscissa is negative.

The both are negative in the third quadrant.

In the fourth quadrant, the ordinate is negative and the abscissa is positive.

As in the given coordinates, both are positive #(26,13)# is in first quadrant.
