This graph represents a shift up due to the change in the y-intercept from the parent function.
This graph represents a shift up due to the change in the y -intercept from the parent function.

This graph represents a shift to the left due to the change in the x-intercept from the parent function.

Answer 1

To analyze the transformation from the original function \( y = \sqrt{3 - x} \) to the new function \( y = \sqrt{3 - x} + 3 \), let's break it down.

1. **Original Function:** \( y = \sqrt{3 - x} \)
- This function is a square root function that opens downwards, with its maximum (at \( x = 3 \)) being 0.

2. **New Function:** \( y = \sqrt{3 - x} + 3 \)
- The transformation to this new function adds 3 to the entire function.

### Key Transformation:
- **Vertical Shift:**
- Since we are adding 3 to the function, this results in a vertical shift **upward** by 3 units.

### Conclusion:
The correct interpretation of the transformation is:

**This graph represents a shift up due to the change in the y-intercept from the parent function.**
