Answer: (4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4 units right means 4 units along the x-axis (units move left or right along the x-axis).

2) 2 units down means to go down (in the negative direction) by 2 spaces. Up and down movement on a graph is along the y-axis.

3) The unit moving left/right is listed first in a coordinate, whereas the unit moving up/down is listed second — I.e., (x,y).
