Answer 1

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

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

Therefore, you would:

- Add 3 units to each x-coordinate.
- Subtract 4 units from each y-coordinate.

The correct response is:

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