How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down four units and to the right three units?
The effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down four units and to the right three units can be described as follows:
- The x-coordinate of each vertex is increased by a value of 3 units, shifting the figure to the right.
- The y-coordinate of each vertex is decreased by a value of 4 units, moving the figure downward.
To describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down four units and to the right three units, you need to apply the same translation to each coordinate of the vertices. Here are the step-by-step instructions for this translation:
1. Start with the original coordinates of the vertices of the figure.
2. For each vertex, subtract 4 from the y-coordinate to move it down four units and add 3 to the x-coordinate to move it to the right three units.
3. Write down the new coordinates for each vertex.
This process will give you the new coordinates of the vertices after the translation.
