Answer:
Explanation:
If we have to find the graph described by a function then we should try to convert the equation into vertex form first.
Here given equation of the parabola is y = x² - 6x - 7
Then we will convert this equation into the vertex form.
y = x² - 2×(3x) + 9 - 16
y = (x - 3)² - 16
So the vertex of the given parabola is (3, -16).
Now we have understood that parent function y = x² have been shifted 3 units right and 16 units down.
Therefore, the given translated parabola will be in the shape of attached figure.
