Answer

Since x is negative and y is positive, our point is in the second quadrant.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to understand that the Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants. The first quadrant is where both x and y are positive, the second quadrant is where x is negative and y is positive, the third quadrant is where both are negative and the fourth quadrant is where x is positive and y is negative.

Step 2 :Now, we look at our point, (-4, 7). The x-coordinate is -4 and the y-coordinate is 7.

Step 3 :Since x is negative and y is positive, our point is in the second quadrant.
