Question

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?(1 point)
Responses

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

Subtract 3 units from each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
Subtract 3 units from each x -value and subtract 4 units from each y -value.

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

Add 3 units to each x-value and add 4 units to each y-value.

Answer 1

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 the effects of each translation separately:

1. **Translating down 4 units** means we need to subtract 4 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
2. **Translating to the right 3 units** means we need to add 3 to the x-coordinate of each vertex.

Putting this together, the correct transformation can be expressed as:
- For the x-coordinates: Add 3
- For the y-coordinates: Subtract 4

Therefore, the correct response is:
**Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.**
