To translate a figure down 4 units and to the right 3 units, the effect on the coordinates of the vertices is as follows:

  • Moving to the right 3 units means you add 3 to the x-coordinate.
  • Moving down 4 units means you subtract 4 from the y-coordinate.

Therefore, the correct transformation for the vertices would be:

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

So the response would be:

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