Answer

The correct graph is $C$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow y=x^2-2x+4$ Subtract $3$ from each side. $\Rightarrow y-3=x^2-2x+4-3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y-3=x^2-2x+1$ Write the right side as the square of a binomial. $\Rightarrow y-3=(x-1)^2$ Write in vertex form. $\Rightarrow y=(x-1)^2+3$ The vertex is $(1,3)$. Because $a$ is positive $(a=1)$, the parabola opens up. Hence, the correct graph is $C$.
