What are the new coordinates of L if parallelogram LMNO is translated down 20 units?

Verified archiveTo find the new coordinates of point L after translating the parallelogram LMNO down by 20 units, you’ll subtract 20 from the y-coordinate of L.
Given the coordinates of L are (16, 1), the calculation would be:
New y-coordinate = 1 – 20 = -19
Therefore, the new coordinates of L will be (16, -19).
Among the options you provided, (–4, –19) is the only one that matches the change in the y-coordinate resulting from the translation. However, double-check the original position of L since the calculation suggests the answer should involve modifying the y-coordinate only.
If the original coordinates were indeed misunderstood or misrepresented, please clarify the coordinates to ensure accurate translation.
If L was originally (–4, 1) or another error occurred, then the answer could fit one of your choices. Please review the coordinates.
