I need help translating graphs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try using this website type the first equation on line on look at it type the seccond equation on line two and see how it changedv https://www.desmos.com/calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will graph it for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found that website but I guess it shifts down or right if you tilt your head to the left lol idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ill try typing it in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is five on the top then or is it on its owm because you put that ^ so im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 5's are seperate from /2s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the -3 in the first one is on it's own too

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if we set x=0, into this equation: y= -1/2(5)^x -3 what do we get?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

|dw:1440171681195:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like y=-1/2(5)^0 -3 @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see your graph now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it has to be reflected across y-axix 3 units to the right? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*axis

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

your graph is reflected with respect to the x-axis, and since: y= -1/2(5)^x -3= -4 when x=0, then we have: |dw:1440171970254:dw|
