Answer

(4,-2) is in the fourth

Work Step by Step

We are given that the location of the ordered pair is (4,-2). Therefore, the point has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate, which corresponds to the fourth quadrant. Because $|4|\gt|-2|$, we know that the point is farther away from the y-axis than it is from the x-axis.
