Answer:

  (-16, -12), (16, -12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values (side length and hypotenuse) have the ratio ...

This suggests that the triangle formed by the axes and the point 20 units from the origin is a 3-4-5 triangle, and the remaining side is 16 units from the y-axis. That means the points of interest are ...

  (-16, -12) and (16, -12)
