how is the graph of y=-2x^2-5 different from the graph of y=-2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5 is the y-intercept. (y=mx+c) where c is the y-intercept. thus 1st eq, parabola will cut at y=-5 while 2nd equation it will cut at y=0.

if u start with the first equation y=-2x^2-5, to y=-2x^2, then it is 5 units up. because from y=-5 to y=0 is 5 units up.
