Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Right 5, down 23

Explanation:

Beginning with the parent function f(x) = x²:

Find the translations of the graph g(x) by completing the square to rewrite the equation in vertex form:

g(x) = x² - 10x + 2

-2 = x² - 10x

-2 + 25 = (x² - 10x + 25)

23 = (x - 5)²

Rewrite:

g(x) = (x - 5)² - 23

The translations that we can see from this equation in vertex form are a horizontal translation of 5 units right and 23 units down. Therefore:

Right 5, down 23 is the correct choice.
