Identifying which quadrant a point resides in within the Cartesian coordinate system involves discerning its location in relation to the x and y-axes. This plane is segmented into four quadrants, which are labeled from I to IV in a counter-clockwise direction. Quadrant I is characterized by positive x and y values, Quadrant II by negative x values but positive y, and so on.
