The formal transformation that describes moving points on a grid 4 units to the left and 2 units down is called a "translation." In coordinate geometry, this can be expressed as a translation vector \((-4, -2)\).
In mathematical terms, if you have a point \((x, y)\), after the translation, the new point would be given by:
\[
(x', y') = (x - 4, y - 2)
\]
This indicates that every point is moved 4 units in the negative x-direction (left) and 2 units in the negative y-direction (down).
