GCSE Maths Practice: graph-transformations

Question 4 of 10

This question tests vertical compression, reflection, and shifts of a parabola.

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which graph shows the transformation of } y = x^2 \\\text{into } y = -\frac{1}{2}(x + 6)^2 + 2?\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Check a, h, and k values carefully to identify all transformations.

Analyze coefficient a for vertical compression, negative sign for reflection, inside bracket for horizontal shift, outside constant for vertical shift.
