The graph of y = x^2 - 2 is the same as the graph of y = x^2, but it is shifted 2 units downward. This is because the -2 directly subtracts from the y-values of the original graph, moving the entire graph down by 2 units.

Relative to the Graph of Y = X 222 , the Graph of Y = X

Relative to the Graph of Y = X $2$ , the Graph of Y = X
