The endpoints of a segment are (4, 2) and (–2, 2). What are the endpoints of the segment after it has been translated 6 units down?

Translating a point 6 units down keeps its x-coordinate the same and subtracts 6 from its y-coordinate. Thus (4, 2) becomes (4, 2 − 6) = (4, −4), and (−2, 2) becomes (−2, 2 − 6) = (−2, −4). Choice A gives the translated endpoints.
