Help please!
Which equation defines the graph of y = x^2 after it is shifted vertically 3 units down and horizontally 5 units left?

y = (x - 5)^2 - 3
y = (x + 5)^2 - 3
y = (x - 3)^2 - 5
y = (x + 3)^2 - 5

Answer 1

Nope. /:

Answer 2

That makes sense, but would would that make my answer out of my answer choices? (5,3) isn't an option.

y = (x - 5)^2 - 3
y = (x + 5)^2 - 3
y = (x - 3)^2 - 5
y = (x + 3)^2 - 5
These are the choices.

Answer 3

y=x^2 means (y-0)=(x-0)^2 where (0,0) is the vertex of your parabola
after shifting your graph it is (-5,-3) so equation is [y-(-3)]=[x-(-5)]^2

Answer 4

y=(x+5)^2-3

Answer 5
