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.
