What effect does changing 'h' have on the graph of a quadratic function?

Back

Changing 'h' shifts the graph horizontally. If 'h' increases, the graph shifts to the right; if 'h' decreases, it shifts to the left.

What effect does changing 'k' have on the graph of a quadratic function?

Back

Changing 'k' shifts the graph vertically. If 'k' increases, the graph shifts up; if 'k' decreases, it shifts down.
