Question

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?
A. Add 3 units to each x-value and add 4 units to each y-value.
B. Add 4 units to each x-value and subtract 3 units from each y-value.
C. Add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.
D. Subtract 3 units from each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value.

Answer 1

C. Translating right 3 adds 3 to each x-value and translating down 4 subtracts 4 from each y-value, so (x,y) → (x+3, y−4).
