Question

Which of the following describes the translation of the graph of y = x2 to obtain the graph of y = -x2 - 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

reflections across the x axis and a shift down 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2

The negative sign means  it is a reflection across the x axis y = −f(x)

y = -x^2

The subtraction of 3 means we are shifting down 3 units

y = -x^2 -3
