The point (0, 3) is located on the y-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system.
To determine its position in relation to the four quadrants, we need to recall how the quadrants are defined:
- Quadrant I: where both x and y coordinates are positive (x > 0, y > 0).
- Quadrant II: where x is negative and y is positive (x < 0, y > 0).
- Quadrant III: where both x and y coordinates are negative (x < 0, y < 0).
- Quadrant IV: where x is positive and y is negative (x > 0, y < 0).
Since the x-coordinate of the point (0, 3) is 0, it does not fall into any of the four quadrants. Instead, it lies on the y-axis. Specifically, it is positioned three units above the origin, which is where the axes intersect.
In summary, the point (0, 3) is not in any quadrant; it is on the y-axis.
