To describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down 4 units and to the right 3 units, we need to consider how translations affect the x and y coordinates.
-
Translation to the Right: When a figure is translated to the right by a certain number of units, you add that number to the x-coordinate. In this case, we are translating to the right by 3 units, so we add 3 to each x-value.
-
Translation Downward: When a figure is translated downward, you subtract the number of units from the y-coordinate. Here, we are translating down by 4 units, so we subtract 4 from each y-value.
Putting this together, the effect on the coordinates of each vertex will be:
- For the x-coordinate: Add 3
- For the y-coordinate: Subtract 4
Thus, the correct response is: Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
