Initial:

Changed to:

As you can see the change is: from -1 to +6.
In a equation as follow:

The k is a transformation that moves up or down the graph of the function. If k is changed to a less value the graph moves down, If k is changed to a greather number the graph moves up.
In this case the graph moves up
To find the number of units the graph moves find the difference betwwen values of k:

Then, the parabola y=x²-1 is moved 7 units up when it is changed to y=x²+6
(-4)^2-4(1)(5)
16-4(1)(5)
16-4(5)
16-20
-4
The discriminant is negative so there are no real number solutions.
5.5 divided by 3.5 is 1.57142857 when solved, but when rounded, you will get 1.6, or 1.57.
Hope this helped!
