Question

The graph of y=x^2is the solid black graph below. Which function represents the dotted graph?

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a transformation of the function, y=x^2. Since the vertex, (h, k), is (-5, 0), you would just have to plug them in into the formula
`y=a(x-h)^(2) +k`, with a=-1.

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