Whаt is the trаnsfоrmаtiоn applied tо ( y = sqrt{x} ) to produce ( y = frac{1}{3} sqrt{x - 1} - 5 )? The x-axis spans from below zero to above 10, and the y-axis spans from negative 5 to above zero. Both axes have a scale of 5 with increments of 1 and have arrows indicating positive and negative directions. The green parabola has its vertex at the point (1, negative 5), in the fourth quadrant. It is symmetrical about the horizontal line y= negative 5 and widens as it moves right. It passes through the coordinates (10, negative 4) and (10, negative 6), and extends rightward beyond the visible range of the graph.
