What is the vertical shift of the graph of the parent cosecant function to the graph of the function below?

Answer:
Option: C is the correct answer.
C. 3 units down.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the graph of a cosecant function has a minimum value for a upward open curve as : 1
It could be seen from the graph.
But here the minimum value of the upward open curve in the transformed function is: -2
This means that the vertical shift is given by:
-2-1=-3
This means that there is a vertical shift of 3 units down in the parent function.
