Answers:

Choice C. (-2, -2)

Choice E. (3, 4)

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate of (-2,4) is -2

The y coordinate of (3,-2) is -2

Joining those two up gets us (-2,-2) as one of the answers

--------------

The x coordinate of (3,-2) is 3

The y coordinate of (-2,4) is 4

This leads to the other answer (3,4)

Check out the diagram below.

The answer points are marked in red.
