Answer 1

Describe how the graph of y = x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.

y = (x – 4)2 – 8

Answer 2

@phi HELPP!!

Answer 3

Shift the graph of y = x2 right 4 units and then down 8 units. thats my answer

Answer 4

is it right?

Answer 5

is y the up/down or sideways ?

Answer 6

up down

Answer 7

y = (x - 4)^2 - 8

without the -8, y= (x-4)^2
that's some number.
then we add -8 to the y (the y value gets smaller by 8)

in other words, y is shifted down by 8

Answer 8

and it would be right 4?

Answer 9

now for the x

if we start with
y= x^2
when x is 0, we get y=0

if we do
y= (x-4)^2 and we put in x=4 we get y = (4-4)^2 = 0

in other words x=4 in the new equation matches up with x=0 in the original
which way did we move ?

Answer 10

right 4

Answer 11

we moved from 0 to 4, so right 4 steps

and down 8 steps

I think you got the right answer.
