Question

How would the graph of y = x2 + 6 be affected if the 6 in the function was changed to a 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. The graph would shift 4 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The function

$y=x^{2}+6$ ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,6)

$y=x^{2}+2$ ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,2)

so

The rule of the translation is

$(x,y)------> (x,y-4)$

That means------> The translation is 4 units down
