A quadrant is simply a part of the coordinate plane
The possible position of point P is (b) quadrant II or quadrant III
The coordinates of point P is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{P =(-5,\_)}[/tex]
Represent the missing y-coordinate with y.
So, the coordinate becomes
[tex]\mathbf{P =(-5,y)}[/tex]
The above coordinate shows that the x-coordinate of point P is negative.
The x-coordinate is negative in the second and the third quadrants
i.e. quadrant II and quadrant III
Hence, the position of point P is (b) quadrant II or quadrant III

Quadrant 2 or 3
Remember, the first coordinate is -5.
And the first coordinate in an ordered pair is always on the x axis, or the horizontal line
On a coordinate plane, you would have to start from the origin, or the center of the plane where the y and x axis intersect, and move left 5 times.
That section of the x axis your dot is on is between quadrant 2 and 3.
If your other coordinate was a positive (say, 6), you would move up six times and land in the second quadrant
If your other coordinate was -6, you would move down six times and land in the third quadrant
