### Determining Centroid Coordinates of a Shaded Plane Shape

#### Problem Statement:
For the shaded plane shape shown below, determine the coordinates of the centroid \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) in inches.

#### Diagram Description:
- The diagram is a coordinate plane with both \(x\)-axis and \(y\)-axis labeled with units in inches.
- The shape is a parallelogram, shaded in red, positioned within the coordinate plane.
- Vertices of the parallelogram are approximately:
  - Top left at \((-82, 82)\)
  - Top right at \((82, 82)\)
  - Bottom left at \((-82, -82)\)
  - Bottom right at \((82, -82)\)

#### Graph Axes:
- The \(x\)-axis ranges from \(-82\) to \(82\) inches.
- The \(y\)-axis ranges from \(-82\) to \(82\) inches.

#### Input Section:
- A form to input the calculated \(x\)-coordinate of the centroid, labeled \(\bar{x} =\), with the value entered as \(-18\) inches and marked incorrect (indicated by a red "x").
- A space to enter the \(y\)-coordinate of the centroid, labeled \(\bar{y} =\), which is currently blank.

#### Objective:
Calculate and input the correct coordinates for the centroid of the parallelogram in inches.
