Question

(Please Help) (50 Points) Write the equation for the transformations of the graph of y = x^2

Use the form: y = a (x-h)^2 +k

Translated 2 units left and 7 units down.

Answer 1

A is the scale or vertical stretch

H is what makes it move right or left.

K is what makes it move up or down.

a = 1

h = -2

k = -7

y = (1) (x-(-2))² + (-7)

y= (x + 2)² -7

(Also, you will learn b in the equation. The equation would be a(b(x-h))² + k. B would be about horizontal compression.)
