\begin{tabular}{l} Which point is plotted using the directions shown? \\ \( (4,3) \) \\ \hline\( (3,4) \) \\ Starting at the origin, \\ go 4 spaces up \\ and 3 spaces left. \end{tabular}

Starting from the origin (0, 0), when you go 4 spaces up, you move to the point (0, 4). Then, moving 3 spaces left from (0, 4), you arrive at (−3, 4). So the point plotted using the given directions is (−3, 4). Now, let's consider a fun twist! Imagine you're on a treasure map. You start at the coordinates of the ocean (0, 0), climb a mountain (4 spaces up), and then decide to explore leftward (3 spaces) to find hidden treasure at (-3, 4). Who knew treasure hunting could involve math? Remember that directional instructions can easily lead to misinterpretations! Double-check each step to ensure you're moving in the correct direction. It's easy to confuse left and right or to forget whether you're ascending or descending, so keep your compass handy and enjoy the adventure of plotting points!
