Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of
y = x^2. Which statement correctly describes the graph of
y = (x + 9)^2 + 4 ?

A. It is the graph of y = x^2 translated 4 units up and 9 units to the left.

B. It is the graph of y = x^2 translated 9 units up and 4 units to the left.

C. It is the graph of y = x^2 translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right.

D. It is the graph of y = x^2 translated 4 units up and 9 units to the right.

Have you attempted the problem yet Which one do you think it is?

It it is (x+9)^2 it means it is moved 9 to the left. If it was (x-9)^2 it would be moved 9 to the right. The +4 at the end means 4 units up. If it were -4 it would mean 4 units down.
