A vertical line has same x coordinates and a horizontal line has same y coordinates
Point Q will have same x coordinate as point R
i.e. Q = (1, y)
Since Q is 4 units above R, we add 4 to the y coordinate of R
so, Q = (1, 3)
Now, Point P will have same y coordinate as point Q
i.e. P = (x, 3)
Since P is 3 units left to Q, we subtract 3 to the y coordinate of Q
so, P = (-2, 3)
Hence, option D

In the figure above, if QR = 4, now Q and R are on the same vertical line
=> Q and R will have same x-coordinate = 1
=> y-coordinate of Q = y-coordinate of R + 4 as we are going 4 points up
=> y-coordinate of Q = -1 + 4 = 3
=> Coordinate of Q = (1, 3)

In the figure above, PQ = 3, now P and Q are on the same horizontal line
=> P and Q will have same y-coordinate = 3
=> x-coordinate of P = x-coordinate of Q - 3 as we are going 3 points to the left
=> x-coordinate of P = 1 - 3 = -2
=> Coordinate of P = (-2, 3)

So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
