Answer 1

To translate a figure down 4 units and to the right 3 units, you adjust the coordinates of its vertices as follows:

1. **To move 3 units to the right**, you **add 3** to each x-coordinate.
2. **To move 4 units down**, you **subtract 4** from each y-coordinate.

Thus, the correct response is:

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