A. S(2.0,3.0) and P(-4.0,-3.0)
B. P(2.0,3.0) and S(-4.0,-3.0)
C. P(3.0,2.0) and S(-3.0,-4.0)
D. S(3.0,2.0) and P(-3.0,-4.0)

Step by Step Solution

    Step 1

    Let's look at point P. The x-coordinate is 2.0 as shown by the red arrow.

    x-coordinate is 2.0

    Step 2

    Now, as for the y-coordinate, it is 3.0 as shown by the yellow arrow.

    So, for point P, you can see that:

    • x-coordinate = 2.0
    • y-coordinate = 3.0

    Therefore, the point P has the coordinates of (2.0,3.0).

    Step 3

    Now, let's look at point S. By applying what you have learn from Step 1 and Step 2, you can see that:

    • x-coordinate = -4.0
    • y-coordinate = -3.0

    Therefore, the point S has the coordinates of (-4.0,-3.0).

    Coordinates of (-4.0,-3.0)

    Step 4

    With P(2.0,3.0) and S(-4.0,-3.0), clearly the answer for this question is B.
