Answer 1

Here are the correct responses to your questions:

1. When you translate a geometric figure vertically, in which directions might you be moving the figure?
- **up or down**

2. When you translate a geometric figure horizontally, in which possible directions might you be moving the figure?
- **left or right**

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

4. How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated to the left 6 units and up 5 units?
- **Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value.**

These responses accurately describe the effects of translating geometric figures.
