Another way we could know that is that the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive, meaning the point is in quadrant 2.

Quadrant 2

Explanation:

Recall the signs in our quadrants:

Quadrant I:(+,+)

Quadrant II:(-,+)

Quadrant III: (-,-)

Quadrant IV: (+,-)

In the point (-2,4), we see that our x coordinate is negative, which places us in the second quadrant.

Hope helps!
