Question

Describe how the graph of y = x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation. (2 points) y = (x+9)2-3 Shift the graph of y = x2 left 9 units and then down 3 units. Shift the graph of y = x2 down 9 units and then left 3 units. Shift the graph of y = x2 right 9 units and then down 3 units. Shift the graph of y = x2 up 9 units and then right 3 units.

Answer 1

Shift the graph of y=x2 left 9 units and then down 3 units.

Explanation:

The number is in a parentheses and the square is on the outside. That is a shift. Minus goes to the right in this particular shift, so you shift the graph left 9 units and down 3.
