If x = 0, then y =1 on the given graph.

Down 5 units would be y = .5^x - 5, it would seem. You'll need to graph but not now.

directrix · Answer

Two units to the left. Do you have an idea on how to make the graph go that way?

directrix · Answer

If this is the potential graph, then did it move two units to the left and five units down?

yes
