You must have some other information. You must also be referring to line segments rather than lines. It is impossible for a line to be wholly contained in a single quadrant.

the lines should have equations

solve the equations for y
___ solutions of the form, y = mx + b

the x-coefficient (m), is the slope of the line

the constant term (b), is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)
