Question

What are the coordinates of the point $P$ marked on the cartesian plane?

• A. $(-4,3)$
• B. $(-4,-3)$
• C. $(4,3)$
• D. $(4,-3)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(-4,-3)$

The given point is,



In order to reach the point $P$, we need to move $4$ units to the left on the $x$-axis. Next we need to move $3$ units down along the $y$-axis.


Hence, the coordinates of the point $P$ are $(-4,-3)$.

For better understanding, all the given points in options are plotted on the coordinate plane as depicted below.
