.

First transformation is moving the parabola left 3 units.


It transforms the original parabola y = x^2 into 

     y = (x+3)^2.    (1)



Second transformation is moving the parabola  (1)  two units down.


It transforms the parabola (1) into the final parabola

     y = (x+3)^2-2.    (2)

Solved, with complete explanations.
