How to align numbers in parentheses
This code aligns the 4 and the -3 roughly centered, i.e., the 4 is centered above the -3. I would like the 4 and the 3 to be perfectly vertically aligned, with the negative sign out to the left and the left parenthesis accommodating. How can I do this?
begin{align*}
x = begin{pmatrix}
4 \
-3 \
end{pmatrix}
end{align*}
horizontal-alignment parentheses

Here are two ways: either use a phantom{-} for the number without a – (to be used for each such number), or load mathtools and use its pmatrix* environment, which allows for an optional alignment specifier:
begin{equation*}
x = begin{pmatrix*}[r]
4 \
-3 \
end{pmatrix*}
qquad
x = begin{pmatrix}
phantom{-} 4 \
-3 \
end{pmatrix}
end{equation*}
