Answer: point B matches (4,-2)

Explanation:

Within parentheses, the first number is the x-coordinate. Positive numbers are given without the +sign and they go to the Right. Negative -numbers go to the left.

The second number is the y-coordinate. Positive numbers go up, -numbers that are negative go down.

In this example it will be 4 Right and 2 Down.

Answer:

Point B is 4 units to the right and 2 units down

Explanation:

Since our x is positive, we are going to the right of the x-axis (where positive values lay).

Since our y is negative, we are going down in the y-axis (where negative values lay).
