Final answer:

Starting at point (2,4) and moving 5 spaces to the right lands you at the point (7,4) in the first quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are located at the point (2,4) in the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system and you move 5 spaces to the right, you are moving along the x-axis. Since moving right increases the x-value of a point, we simply add 5 to the x-coordinate of (2,4). Therefore, the x-coordinate becomes 2 + 5 = 7. The y-coordinate remains the same because there is no movement up or down. Hence, the new position would be the point (7,4).
