Answer:

x > 0

y > 0

Explanation:

The first quadrant is the quadrant formed by the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis.

And we know that all the elements in this quadrant are larger than zero.

Then, a point (x, y) is on the first quadrant only if:

x > 0

y > 0

Note that we ignore the points with x = 0 or y = 0, this is because these points are shared between quadrants, and these points are not defined as belonging to any quadrant.
