Co-ordinate Geometry

1) Point on X-Axis where x > 0 will fall in Quadrant 1
2) Point on X-Axis where x < 0 will fall in Quadrant 3

Or any gudilelines as such?

I came across a question that required me to consider all the points P(x,y) such that P lies on the circle with radius 10 and center (0,0). It is given that x and y are integers. It is given that P lies in quadrant 1.

Since the radius = 10; we can use the formula that x^2 + y^2 = 100.

I was not sure if the list would be:

A) (10,0), (0,10), (6,8) (8, 6)

or

B) (6,8) (8, 6)

Option A has two points that are on the axis and I was not sure if they are considered in quadrant 1.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

In the above image, you can see the four quadrants numbered I,II,III and IV.

Sign to each quadrant is assigned based on the sign of x and y axis. For example in quadrant I, this quadrant is enclosed by x axis on the bottom and y axis at the left. X axis which is moving towards right will have +ve numbers and Y axis moving upward will have +ve numbers hence (x,y) will be (+,+), similarly in the II quadrant (x,y) will be (-,+) x is -ve as it is moving left.

Hope this is clear.

Let me know if you need further clarification.
