Question

If you will? thank you! this is pre-calculus

Answer 1

Think of it that way

y = x^2 + a

y = x^2 + a > y = x^2 right ?

so adding a constant sifts up as y increases while subtracting one decreases it

so adding a constant with the x shifts right and left (add -> left , subtract -> right)

8 down and 4 right

Answer 2

To the right 4 and down 8
