it would need to be shifted to the right 5 units.
here's a graph of y = x and y = x-5.

here's a graph of y = x^2 and y = (x-5)^2.

the red graph is the original equation.
the blue graph is the original equation shifted to the right 5 units.

with y = x, when x = 0, y = 0.
with y = x-5, when x = 5, y = 0.

with y = x^2, when x = 2, y = 4.
with y = (x-5)^2, when x = 7, y = 4.

use Horizontal Shifts theorem
To graph, shift the graph of units by adding to the x-coordinates of the points on the graph of f.
so, will shift the graph of to the by units
