Answer 1

To translate a figure down 4 units, you need to subtract 4 from the y-coordinates of the vertices. To translate it to the right 3 units, you need to add 3 to the x-coordinates of the vertices.

Therefore, the correct description for the effect on the coordinates of the vertices would be:

**Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.**
