xy plan ds question

by tj123 » Thu May 21, 2009 9:27 pm
if ab does not = o and points (-a,b) and (-b,a) are in the same quadrant of the xy-plane, is the point (-x,y) in this same quadrant?

1) xy>0

2) ax>0

OA C

I understand that both are insufficient individually, but i do not understand how they are sufficient together. please explain
