See below.

$y = {(- x)}^{2} \equiv y = x^{2}$ $y= (-x)^2 -= y=x^2$

If we are talking about the transformation of $y = x^{2}$ $y=x^2$ Then there is no transformation taking place.

As you can see from their graphs:

$y = {(- x)}^{2}$ $y=(-x)^2$
graph{y=(-x)^2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

$y = x^{2}$ $y= x^2$
graph{y=x^2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Are you sure it is not supposed to be $y = - x^{2}$ $y=-x^2$ . This would then be.

$y = x^{2}$ $y=x^2$ reflected in the $x$ $x$ axis.

Graph of $y = - x^{2}$ $y=-x^2$

graph{y = -(x)^2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

How do you sketch the graph of y=(−x)2y=(-x)^2 and describe the transformation?
