Question

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = (x – 5)^2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)^2 – 2?
A.6 units left and 9 units down
B.6 units right and 9 units down
C.6 units left and 9 units up
D.6 units right and 9 units up

Answer 1

do you know the vertex of the original equation...?

Answer 2

then you need to identify the vertex of the translation

Answer 3

it doesnt say, but how do we find the vertex

Answer 4

the equations are written in vertex form

\[Y = (x -h)^2 + k\]

(h, k) is the vertex.

By comparing this to your equations can you identify the vertex of each parabola..?

Answer 5

so just to help the original has a vertex at (5, 7) an the translation has a vertex at(-1, -2)

so what movement took place

Answer 6

I wanna say B
