How is the graph of y=(x+1)^2-9 transformed from the graph of y=x^2? a shifted 1 unit left and 9 units up b shifted 1 unit right and 9 units up c shifted 1 unit left and 9 units down d shifted 1 unit right and 9 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the '+1', the graoph of x^2 is shifted 1 unit to the left.  The '+9' results in the entire graph being shifted downward 9 units.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
