Step-by-step explanation: When finding the coordinates

of a given point, be very careful with your signs.

On the x-axis, left means negative and right means positive and

on the y-axis, down means negative, and up means positive.

So to find the coordinates for point A, we start at the origin,

which is the point (0, 0), and we move 2 units to the left and 4 units up.

So that's the point (-2, 4).

Remember to go left or right first, then up or down.

So for point B, we go 0 units to the left or right and 3 units down.

So that's the point (0, -3).

For point C, we move 4 units to th

right and 4 units down so tha's (4, -4).
