Answer:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+4, y-2)$

Explanation:

Since, In translation by b unit left,

The algebraic rule is,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x-b, y)$

By b unit right, rule is,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+b, y)$

By b unit up, rule is,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x, y+b)$

By b unit down, rule is,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x, y-b)$

Hence, the algebraic rule to describe a translation right 4 units and down 2 units is,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+4, y-2)$
