Question 1033128: y=(-1/2)x^2-6 was the result of shifting down 5 units, what was the original function?

i believe the original equation must have been y = (-1/2)x^2 - 1.

from that original equation, the equation of y = (-1/2)x^2 - 6 will be 5 units below it.

the following graph shows the relationship.
