GCSE Maths Practice: graph-transformations

Question 8 of 11

This question tests upward translation of a parabola.

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which graph shows the transformation of } y = x^2 \text{ into } y = x^2 + 3?\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Check the constant added to the function for vertical shift direction and magnitude.

Adding a constant outside the function moves all points vertically by that amount, while keeping the parabola shape unchanged.
