Question

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

B) y= (x+5)^2 - 3
c) y=(x-3)^2 - 5
D) y= (x+3)^2 - 5

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

Because the number in the inside of the parenthesis tells you whether it goes to the left or the right. If its +, then it goes to the left, and if its -, it goes to the right.
The number outside of the parenthesis tell you whether it moves upward or downwards. + means it will move up and - means it would move down.
