To determine the quadrant in which the ordered pair (5, 9) is located, we need to consider the signs of the x and y coordinates.
In the first quadrant (QI), both x and y coordinates are positive.
In the second quadrant (QII), the x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive.
In the third quadrant (QIII), both x and y coordinates are negative.
In the fourth quadrant (QIV), the x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is negative.
The ordered pair (5, 9) has a positive x coordinate (5) and a positive y coordinate (9). Therefore, it is located in the first quadrant (QI).
To determine in which quadrant the ordered pair (5, 9) is located, we need to understand the concept of quadrants on a coordinate plane. A coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants: Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV.
Quadrant I is located in the upper right-hand side of the coordinate plane (x > 0, y > 0).
Quadrant II is located in the upper left-hand side of the coordinate plane (x < 0, y > 0).
Quadrant III is located in the lower left-hand side of the coordinate plane (x < 0, y < 0).
Quadrant IV is located in the lower right-hand side of the coordinate plane (x > 0, y < 0).
Using these definitions, we can see that the ordered pair (5, 9) has a positive x-coordinate (5) and a positive y-coordinate (9). This means the ordered pair is located in Quadrant I.
Therefore, the answer is: I
