As explained

Explanation:

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes .

These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals:

I (where the signs of the (x,y) coordinates are (+,+)), II (−,+), III (−,−), and IV (+,−).

#"Given coordinates : " color(indigo)(-2,-6)#

#"Abscissa " = -2, " ordinate " = -6#

From the above diagram, the point lies in III Quadrant
