The graph f(x) = x^2 - 1 is translated down 6 units. What would be the new function rule ?

Answer:

f(x) = x^2 - 7

Explanation:

this is because, the y-intercept is (0,-1). If the graph was translated down 6 units, then that means the y-intercept was also shifted 6 units down.

so just subtract 6 from the original y-intercept, -1 -6

hope this helps!
