shift left 2 units and down 3 units
shift left 2 units and down 3 units

shift right 3 units and down 2 units
shift right 3 units and down 2 units

Answer 1

To translate the vertex of a quadratic function from the point \((-3, -2)\) to the point \((0, 0)\), we need to determine the changes in the x-coordinate and y-coordinate.

1. **Translate from x = -3 to x = 0**: This is a shift to the right by \(3\) units (since \(0 - (-3) = 3\)).
2. **Translate from y = -2 to y = 0**: This is a shift up by \(2\) units (since \(0 - (-2) = 2\)).

Therefore, the correct transformation is:
**shift right 3 units and up 2 units.**
