$(-2, -2)$ lies exactly at the 3rd Quadrant

All we need to know where the locations of the points are classified into 9 sets.

(Positive x, Positive y)=located in the 1st Quadrant
Examples: $(4, 5)$ , and $(3, 11)$ , and $(1/2, 4.5)$

(Negative x, Positive y)=located in the 2nd Quadrant
Examples: $(-7, 2)$ , and $(-4, 6)$ , and $(-23, 2)$

(Negative x, Negative y)=located in the 3rd Quadrant
Examples: $(-3, -7)$ , and $(-1, -16)$ , and $(-13, -12)$

(Positive x, Negative y)=located in the 4th Quadrant
Examples: $(8, -5)$ , and $(9, -15)$ , and $(11, -5)$

(Positive x, Zero y)=located at the Positive x-axis
Examples: $(4, 0)$ , and $(3, 0)$ , and $(12, 0)$

(Negative x, Zero y)=located at the Negative x-axis
Examples: $(-4, 0)$ , and $(-3, 0)$ , and $(-12, 0)$

(Zero x, Positive y)=located at the Positive y-axis
Examples: $(0, 5)$ , and $(0, 11)$ , and $(0, 8)$

(Zero x, Negative y)=located at the Negative y-axis
Examples: $(0, -8)$ , and $(0, -5)$ , and $(0, -1)$

(Zero x, Zero y)=located at the intersection of the axes which is the point of origin $(0, 0)$

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
