Question 452715: What is the equation of the parabola that moves the parent graph y=x^2 to the left 9 units?

Shifting the parabola to the left 9 units means that to get a certain y-value, you now need to add 9 to the x-value to compensate for the shift. So you plug in "x + 9" for x. So the equation is y=(x+9)^2.
