Which equation has a vertex of (-3, 4)?

• y = (x+3)² + 4

• y = (x+3)² - 4
• y = (x-3)² - 4

• y = (x - 3)² + 4

In vertex form, what effect does the h have on the graph?

• Translates Up/Down

• Translates Left/Right

• Narrows/Widens Parabola

• Flips it

In vertex form, what effect does the k have on the graph?

• Translates Up/Down
