Final answer:

The point (4, -3) is plotted by moving 4 units to the right and 3 units down from the origin, locating it in the fourth quadrant of the Cartesian plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about plotting a point on a Cartesian coordinate system. To plot the point (4, -3), you start at the origin (0,0), move 4 units to the right (positive x-direction), and then move 3 units down (negative y-direction). The point (4, -3) is located in the fourth quadrant of the Cartesian plane, where the x-values are positive and the y-values are negative. This point is 4 units right from the y-axis and 3 units below the x-axis.
