Question

Describe the given translation as it relates to the graph of the parent function.

y=(x−5)^2

 

Translation of the graph of y=x2 Select Choice 5 units.

choices: right left up down 

Answer 1

Translate the graph of y = x² five units to the right to obtain the graph of y = (x - 5)².

Answer 2

It is important to learn the standard form for parabolas and what h and k do to the movement of the graphs. also what happens if y² instead of x². y= (x-h)²+k.

h and k are going to be your best friends for a long time. Make peace with them now so that you recognize what happens to the graph according to h and k.
