Step 1) Shift the original graph 2 units to the right. This lines up our desired line of symmetry on the y axis. So we go from (green) to (blue)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2) Reflect about the y axis (or x = 0) by replacing 'x' with '-x' to get

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3) Translate back by shifting 2 units to the left. This is done by subtracting off 2 to get the final answer of

======================================================================
Answer:

So the graph of (shown in green) and the reflected graph over the line x = -2, which is (shown in blue) are graphed below
