The correct answer is A. Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
When a figure is translated down 4 units, the y-coordinates of its vertices decrease by 4. When it is translated to the right 3 units, the x-coordinates of its vertices increase by 3. Therefore, to describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices, we need to add 3 units to each x-value (to describe the rightward translation) and subtract 4 units from each y-value (to describe the downward translation).
How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down 4 units and to the right 3 units?
A Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
B Add 4 units to each x-value and subtract 3 units from each y-value.
C Subtract 3 units from each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
D Add 3 units to each x-value and add 4 units to each y-value.
