Multiple Choice

Fill in each blank with the appropriate response.
-The graph of $y = - \frac { 1 } { 6 } ( x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } - 8$ can be obtained from the graph of $y = x ^ { 2 }$ by shifting horizontally $\underline{\quad\quad}$ units to the $\underline{\quad\quad}$ vertically compressing by a factor of $\underline{\quad\quad}$ , reflecting across the $\underline{\quad\quad}$ -axis, and shifting vertically $\underline{\quad\quad}$ units in the $\underline{\quad\quad}$ direction.
