Answer

To obtain the ordered pair (4,-3), the first roll should be 6 on the positive die and 2 on the negative die while the second roll should be 1 on the positive die and 4 on the negative die.

Work Step by Step

For 4, rolling a 6 on the positive die and a 2 on the negative die will result in a sum that is 4. For -3, rolling a 1 on the positive die and 4 on the negative die will result in a sum that is -3. These two sums return the desired ordered point of (4,-3).
