Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

When a figure is translated down 4 units, you will subtract 4 from each y-coordinate. When it is translated to the right 3 units, you will add 3 to each x-coordinate. Therefore, the transformation can be described as:

- For each vertex \((x, y)\), the new coordinates will be \((x + 3, y - 4)\).
