1.Describe how the graph of y= x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation:
y = x2 - 14
Shift the graph of y = x2 right 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 up 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 left 14 units.
Shift the graph of y = x2 down 14 units.
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is the last option. To transform the graph of y = x² to y = x² - 14, you have to shift the graph of y = x2 down 14 units. The value "-14" signifies the value of y when x is zero. Hope this answers the question.
