Question

Describe how the graph of the equation relates to the graph of y = x2.
f(x) = -x + 5)2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's y = x^2, not y = x2.  The graph of y = x^2 is a parabola with vertex (0, 0) and which opens up.

The graph of y = (x + 5)^2 has the same shape as that of y = x^2, but has been translated 5 units to the left.
