The answer is better if it can be drawn out and explained.

Here is the answer with no explanation or work shown:

Both points lie below the horizontal axis. (x, -y) with the given parameters describes a point in the lower-right quadrant (IV). (0, -y) shows a point on the y-axis (since x = 0) and somewhere below the x-axis between quadrants III and IV.

x is positive and y is positive.

However when you plug them into (x, -y), y becomes negative which means this point is in the IV quadrant.

(0, -y) -> right on the y-axis between the III and IV quadrant.
