Plot, read, and interpret points in all four quadrants on the coordinate plane.
Infer a point from coordinate structure
Problem
On the coordinate plane, point \(A\) is at \((-3,~-2)\). Point \(B\) lies directly above point \(A\) and has \(y\)-coordinate \(4\). What are the coordinates of point \(B\)?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Directly above means the two points lie on the same vertical line, so their horizontal coordinate must stay fixed. Carry point A’s x-value, including its sign, into point B and pair it with the new y-value given in the prompt. Write the unchanged x first and the new y second.
