Answer

$(0, -4)$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The point $(x, y)$ has: $x$= directed distance of the point from the y-axis (positive when to the right of the y-axis, negative when to the left) $y$= directed distance of the point from the x-axis (positive when above the x-axis, negative when below) Point B is: on the y-axis so $x=0$ 4 units below the x-axis so $y=-4$ Thus, the coordinates of $B$ are $(0, -4)$.
