Question 1042276: Please help me solve this:
Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of y = e^x. Which statement correctly describes the graph of y = e^(x + 4) - 6 ?
A. It is the graph of y = e^x translated 6 units down and 4 units to the right.
B. It is the graph of y = e^x translated 4 units down and 6 units to the left.
C. It is the graph of y = e^x translated 6 units down and 4 units to the left.
D. It is the graph of y = e^x translated 4 units up and 6 units to the left.

e^x to e^(x+4) shifts the graph 4 units to the left

tacking on a -6 to the end shifts the graph down 6 units

So the final answer is C. It is the graph of y = e^x translated 6 units down and 4 units to the left.
