ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is:

Factor -3 for the first 2 terms.

We add and subtract the square of the coefficient of x.

Factor the perfect square trinomial.

The vertex form is:

Since the function f(x) is written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, it currently has a y-intercept of b = 6. If this function is shifted downwards (vertically) by 12 units, its new y-intercept will be:
Answer:
infinitely many
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 12-y to both sides of the second equation to put it into standard form like the first equation:
y +(12 -y) = (x -12) +(12 -y)
12 = x - y . . . simplify
x - y = 12 . . . . second equation in standard form
We see this is identical to the first equation. That means every solution of the first equation is also a solution of the second equation. There are infinitely many solutions.
