Answer

x-coordinates are negative in quadrants II and III.

Work Step by Step

We call the upper right quadrant as quadrant I, and count the others in the counterclockwise direction. $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}II&|&I\\--&(0,0)&--\\III&|&IV\end{array}\right]$ Right of the y axis, x-coordinates are positive, left of the y axis, x-coordinates are negative. Above the x-axis, y-coordinates are positive below the x-axis, y-coordinates are negative. x-coordinates are negative in quadrants II and III.
