Step 1: (a,b) --> (b,a)
So (4,3) --> (3,4)

Step 2: Move 3 units left
So (3,4) --> (0,4)

Answer: A

Bunuel Can you please explain why you would not start at point (4,3) on the coordinate plane? I started there and moved 3 places to the left and 4 places up, then 3 places back to get me to (4,7)

Think of this as a rule of the game - During one move in the game, a marker at a point (a,b) is first moved to the point (b,a) and then moved 3 units to the left.

Now, the question is saying, if a marker is at (4,3), then it will end at?
a=4, b = 3
New position (3,4)
Move left (3-3,4) = (0,4)
