Answer

A point is in the first quadrant if both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive, which is the case for \((4, 10)\)

Steps

Step 1 :First, find the y-coordinate of the point by substituting \(x = 4\) into the function: \(f(4) = 3(4) - 2 = 10\)

Step 2 :The point is \((4, 10)\)

Step 3 :A point is in the first quadrant if both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive, which is the case for \((4, 10)\)
