Question

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = 2(x – 15)2 + 3 to the graph of y = 2(x – 11)2 + 3?

Answer 1

left 4 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

The translation is left 4 units

Explanation:

we know that

`y=2(x-15)^(2)+3`

Is a vertical parabola open upward with vertex at (15,3)

`y=2(x-11)^(2)+3`

Is a vertical parabola open upward with vertex at (11,3)

so

The rule of the translation of (15,3) ----> (11,3) is equal to

(x,y) ----> (x-4,y)

That means ----> The translation is left 4 units
