This point is in the 2nd quadrant (top left side)

There are four quadrants and you can tell in which quadrant a point will lie by looking at the signs of the x- and y- values.

For $(x,y)$

1st Quad $(+,+)$
2nd Quad $(-,+)$
3rd Quad $(-,-)$
4th Quad $(+,-)$

In $(-3,4)$ there is a negative x-value, but a positive y-value.

This point is in the 2nd quadrant (top left side)
