We are given that v = 3i + 4j


\begin{gathered} We\text{ }also\text{ }know\text{ }that\text{ }thedirection\text{ }of\text{ }a\text{ }vector\text{ is given by} \\ tan\theta\text{ = }(v1)/(v2) \\ Since\text{ both v1 and v2 are positive, we can conclude that the vector lies in the first quadrant.} \end{gathered}

Correct option: graph number three
