HELP ASAP PLEASE Describe the differences between the graph of y = -3/4 (x-6) ^ 2 + 4 and the standard position graph of y = x2.

its reflected, stretched, translated to the right, and translated up. do you know who is who in this scenario?

OpenStudy (matheducatormcg):

in a quadratic of the form\[y=a(x-h)^2+k\] the a value determines if it is reflected up or down by its sign. the a value also tells you how much to stretch it by. If you have a fraction out front we typically call this a shrink or compression. the h value tells you to translate left or right. the k value tells you how much to translate up or down.

OpenStudy (matheducatormcg):

your graph is reflected down because a is negative. it is shrunk by a factor of 3/4.(typically this means you can go down 3/4 and over 1 in both directions from the vertex to get sketch points) the graph is translated 6 to the right and translated 4 up.

can you sum this up?
