Question 91449
y = 4x - 2 shift down 3 and right 2 
--------
To move the graph 2 to the right replace x by x-2
y = 4(x-2) -1
To then move the graph down 3 subtract 3 from the right side
y = 4(x-2) -1 -3
Final result: y = 4(x-2)-4
or y = 4x-12
Here are graphs of the original and the final result:
{{{graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,10,4x-2,4x-12)}}}
Since the graphs are lines you do not see the shift to the right;
you only see the combination of the two changes.
------------------------------

y = -1/2x^2-2 shift left 4 and widen by 2
To shift left 4 replace x by x+4 giving you
y = (-1/2)(x+4)^2 - 2
To widen by 2 multiply the variable term (1/2) giving you:
y = (-1/4)(x+4)^2 - 2
Here are graphs of the original and the final result:
{{{graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,10,(-1/2)x^2-2,(-1/4)(x+4)^2-2)}}}
