(TRUE) In the Cartesian plane,the $II$ quadrant is defined by points where the $x$-coordinate (abscissa) is negative and the $y$-coordinate (ordinate) is positive.
For the point $(-1, 7)$,the $x$-coordinate is $-1$ (which is $< 0$) and the $y$-coordinate is $7$ (which is $> 0$).
Since the signs are $(-, +)$,the point $(-1, 7)$ lies in the $II$ quadrant.
Therefore,the statement is True.
