Answer 1

The correct description for how the function \( y = (x - 5)^2 \) has transformed from the parent function \( y = x^2 \) is:

**The function was shifted right 5 units.**

This happens because the expression inside the parentheses, \( (x - 5) \), indicates a horizontal shift to the right by 5 units.
