Q5 How is the graph of y=-2x2+5 different from the graph of y=-2x2 ? How does this difference transform the graph of each quadratic?
1 answer
The graph of y=-2x^2+5 is shifted upwards by 5 units compared to the graph of y=-2x^2. This transformation results in the graph of y=-2x^2+5 being displaced vertically upwards. In other words, all the points on the graph of y=-2x^2+5 will be 5 units higher than the corresponding points on the graph of y=-2x^2.
