Question

A quadratic function on a graph has the vertex at the point (-3, -2). Which of the following transformations translates the vertex to the point (0, 0)?
• shift left 2 units and down 3 units
• shift right 3 units and down 2 units
• shift right 3 units and up 2 units
• shift left 3 units and up 2 units

Answer 1

To translate the vertex from (-3, -2) to (0, 0), we need to shift the graph 3 units to the right and 2 units up.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
• shift right 3 units and up 2 units.
