At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

When i was going through the cordinate geomentry in the following link
math-coordinate-geometry-87652.html
I had a doubt there mentioned a few lines like this :
1. If the slope of a line is negative, the line WILL intersect quadrants II and IV. X and Y intersects of the line with negative slope have the same sign. Therefore if X and Y intersects are positive, the line intersects quadrant I; if negative, quadrant III.
i dont understand the second line X and Y intersects of the line with negative.......quadrant III
Bunnel can you please explain me whats the intended meaning of those lines

Hi.. here are my few cents..
here are two scenarios:
1. a line with negative slope and passing through Ist quadrant
2. a line with negative slope and passing through 3rd quadrant
These are the only two possible scenarios.
Now in case 1: line will cross +ve y-axis and +ve x-axis so both intercepts (what you mentioned as intersects) will be positive.
In case 2: line will cross -ve y-axis and -ve x-axis so both intercepts (what you mentioned as intersects) will be negative.
Hope it clarifies.
Best Regards,
Mansoor

x intercept means when line touches x axis i.e value of x when y=0
y intercept means when line touches y axis i.e value of y when x=0
y intercept means when line touches y axis i.e value of y when x=0
