A Correct answer
Explanation

The point is $\biggl( \frac{-8}{6}, \frac{-7}{3} \biggr)$. Here, x-coordinate is $\frac{-8}{6}$, which is negative, and y-coordinate is $\frac{-7}{3}$, which is also negative. i.e. x < 0 and y < 0 When x < 0 and y < 0, the point lies in the third quadrant. So, the point $\biggl( \frac{-8}{6}, \frac{-7}{3} \biggr)$ lies in the third quadrant.
