Answer:

A. (-4, 6 )

Explanation:

Signals of x and y in each quadrant:

Suppose we have a point P(x,y).

In the first quadrant, we have that both are positive, that is, x > 0, y > 0.

In the second quadrant, x is negative, while y is positive, that is, x < 0, y > 0.

In the third quadrant, both are negative, that is, x < 0, y < 0.

In the fourth quadrant, x is positive while y is negative, that is, x > 0, y < 0.

In this question:

In the second quadrant, we have x negative and y positive, so the ordered pair that best describes is given by option A.
