The point (-3, 5) lies in the second quadrant.

In the Cartesian coordinate system:

  • Quadrant I: (+x, +y)
  • Quadrant II: (-x, +y)
  • Quadrant III: (-x, -y)
  • Quadrant IV: (+x, -y)

Since the x-coordinate is negative (-3) and the y-coordinate is positive (5), the point is in the second quadrant.
