8 units left and 7 units up
b.
8 units right and 7 units down
c.
8 units right and 7 units up
d.
8 units left and 7 units down

Answer 1

`\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations} \\ \quad \\\\ % left side templates \begin{array}{llll} f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \\ \quad \\ y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \\ \quad \\ f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}} \\ \quad \\ f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}} \\ \quad \\ f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}} \end{array}`


`\bf \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative} \\\\ \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}`


`\bf \bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\ \left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}`

now, with that template in mind, let's see
`\bf \begin{array}{lllccll} g(x)=&1(&1x&-8)^2&-7\\ &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\ &A&B&C&D \end{array}`
