Given y=sqrt%28x%29

1) Reflect about the x-axis

y=-sqrt%28x%29

2) Shift down 7 units

That is a change to the y value. Make y lesser than before.

3) Shift left 8 units

That is a change to the x value, left or right. Think what must be done to x to change 8 units to the left.



Final resulting equation is y=-sqrt%28x%2B8%29-7
