Which of the following describes the translation of the graph of y = x2 to obtain the graph of y = - x2 - 3?

reflections across the x axis and a shift down 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2

The negative sign means it is a reflection across the x axis y = - f (x)

y = - x^2

The subtraction of 3 means we are shifting down 3 units

y = - x^2 - 3
