Answer 1

Dear Student,

Here is the solution of your asked query:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{In}\mathrm{fourth}\mathrm{quadrant}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{becomes}\mathrm{negative}. \\ \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{P}=4 \\ \mathrm{And}\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{P}=3 \\ \mathrm{Since}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{Q}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{opposite}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{fourth}\mathrm{quadrant}. \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{Q}=-4 \\ \mathrm{And}\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{cordinate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{Q}=-3 \\ \mathrm{Therefore},\mathrm{point}\mathrm{Q}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{Q}\left(-4,-3\right) \end{gathered}$$
