In the rectangular coordinate system above, point Q (not shown) is the same distance from the line y = x as point P, and it is the same distance from the y axis as point P is from the x axis. Point R (not shown) lies at both the same distance from the x axis and the same distance from the y axis as point Q, but is in a different location. If the coordinates of point P are (4,2), which of the following are possible coordinates of point R?
