Question

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

y = (x - 12)^2 - 14

Shift the graph of y = x2 right 12 units and then up 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 right 12 units and then down 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 down 12 units and then left 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 left 12 units and then down 14 units.

Answer 1

When it is inside the parenthesis the transformation is horizontal
When it is outside the parenthesis the transformation is vertical
When it is -14 outside it means 14 units down
When it is -12 inside the parenthesis it means 12 units right
So the answer will be Shift the graph of y = x2 right 12 units and then down 14 units
Hope I helped :)
