Which phrase best descubes the translation from the graph y = (x - 5)2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)2 - 2?

Answer:
"6 units left and 9 units down"
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose a function is given in this form:
This is the parent function y = x^2
- translated a units right (left if there was a + before a)
- translated b units up (down if there was a - before b)
Now, to go from to
, we can see that:
- first function is 5 units right and 2nd one is 1 unit left, so there is a horizontal translation of 6 units left
- first function is 7 units above and 2nd one is 2 units down, so there is a vertical translation of 9 units down
Thus, "6 units left and 9 units down" is the transformation(translation).

Answer:
B the range, the x- and y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
the domain stays the same : all values of x are possible out of the interval (-infinity, +infinity).
but the range changes, as for the original function y could only have positive values - even for negative x.
the new function has a first term (with b) that can get very small for negative x, and then a subtraction of 2 makes the result negative.
the y-intercept (x=0) of the original function is simply y=1, as b⁰=1.
the y-intercept of the new function is definitely different, because the first term 3×(b¹) is larger than 3, because b is larger than 1. and a subtraction of 2 leads to a result larger than 1, which is different to 1.
the original function has no x-intercept (y=0), as this would happen only for x = -infinity. and that is not a valid value.
the new function has an x-intercept, because the y-values (range) go from negative to positive numbers. any continuous function like this must therefore have an x-intercept (again, y = the function result = 0)
