The graph of y = x 2 is changed to y = x 2 - 3. How does this change in the equation affect the graph

Question

The graph of y = x ² is changed to y = x ² - 3. How does this change in the equation affect the graph

Answer 1

The graph goes from one that goes through the origin (0,0) which is the y-intercept to a graph that moves down 3 units with a y-intercept of -3.
