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 4 units to each x-value and subtract 3 units from each y-value
B. add 3 units to each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value
C. subtract 3 units from each x-value and subtract 4 units from each y-value
D. add 3 units to each x-value and add 4 units to each y-value
1 answer
The correct answer is A. When a figure is translated down 4 units, we subtract 4 units from each y-value. When it is translated to the right 3 units, we add 3 units to each x-value.
