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:
  1. x-coordinate = 2.0
  2. y-coordinate = 3.0
Therefore, the point P has the coordinates of (2.0,3.0).
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:
  1. x-coordinate = -4.0
  2. 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.
