Question

Which statement describes the translation of y = −1 over 5(x + 5)2 + 2 from standard position?

A) Moved up and to the right
B) Moved up and to the left
C) Moved down and to the left
D) Moved down and to the right

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

Given equation is

`y=(-1)/(5(x+5)^(2) ) +2`

The original graph would be

`y=-(1)/(x^(2) )`

From this transformations done are

a) horizontal shift of 5 units to the left

b) shrink vertical by scale factor 1/5

c) vertical shift of 2 units up

Hence option A is not right

Option B is right.

Similarly C and D are not right.
