In geometry, a quadrant is one of the four sections of a rectangular coordinate plane. The four quadrants make up the area contained by the x- and y-axes and are labeled I through IV, starting in the upper right quadrant and going counterclockwise, as shown in the figure below.

Math Article. Quadrant. A quadrant is a region defined by the two axes (x-axis and y-axis) of the coordinate system. When the two axes, x-axis and y-axis, intersect each other at 90 degrees, the four regions so formed are the quadrants. These regions include both positive and negative values of x-axis and y-axis, called coordinates.
Quadrants of the coordinate plane. The coordinate plane is divided into four sections, called quadrants. Quadrant I has positive x and y values, Quadrant II has negative x and positive y, Quadrant III has negative x and y, and Quadrant IV has positive x and negative y. The point (-7,7) is in Quadrant II.

one of the four parts into which a plane, as the face of a heavenly body, is divided by two perpendicular lines, numbered counterclockwise from upper right: the first quadrant of the moon. an instrument, usually containing a graduated arc of 90°, used in astronomy, navigation, etc., for measuring altitudes.
What is the Definition of Quadrant in Math? A quadrant can be defined as a part of a cartesian plane that is obtained when the two axes intersect each other. We get 4 quadrants when the axes intersect each other. How are Quadrants Numbered? The 4 quadrants are numbered in the following way: Quadrant I is on the upper right-hand corner of the plane.
