Question

Which statement describes the translation of y=-1/2(x-2)^2-2 from standard position?

Answer 1

y = x^2 is the parent function.
y = (x - 2)^2 would translate 2 units to the right
y = (x - 2)^2 - 2 would translate 2 units to the right and also 2 units down
y = - (1/2) (x - 2)^2 - 2
would reflect the parabola upside down, and also make it wider
