A Correct answer
Explanation

The point is (17, 9) $\leftrightarrow $ (x, y) Here, x > 0 and y > 0 and if x is positive and y is positive, then the point lies in the 1st quadrant. So, point (17, 9) lies in the first quadrant.                                                 OR The sign of co-ordinate of a point is (+, +), which lies in 1st quadrant. So, (17, 9) lies in the first quadrant.

AI explanation

A point lies in the first quadrant when both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive. Since (17, 9) has both values greater than zero, it sits in the region above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis, which is the first quadrant by convention.
