Answer: B) 4 - i
============================================
Explanation:
Any complex number is in the form a+bi which visually can be plotted at the point (a,b). Treat 'a' as 'x', and think of 'b' as 'y'. So (a,b) = (x,y).
a = real part of the number, so because a = x, this means the "real axis" is the x axis.
b = imaginary part of the number, so b = y means the "imaginary axis" is the y axis.
-----------------
The statement "below the real axis" indicates the point is below the x axis, so y < 0 and b < 0.
The portion "to the right of the imaginary axis" tells us the point has a positive x coordinate, so x > 0 and a > 0
With a > 0 and b < 0, the only thing that fits is a+bi = 4 + (-1)i = 4-i. In this case, a = 4 and b = -1.
Below is an attached image showing all of the answer choices plotted on the same xy coordinate grid. Only the second answer choice is in the proper region we want.
