Describe how the graph of y= x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation. y = (x-14)2 - 9

Hi there!

Since the general formula of A quadratic equation equals

With q representation the translation to the left or right, and q the translation up or down.

The graph

is translated 9 down and 14 to the right to get


Hence, in coordinates we get the following translation (14, - 9)

Ibelieve the answer is b. y=0 would make the line horizontal across the x.
