**
ln(x) has no y-intercept, instead, the y-axis is an asymptote for the log function.
ln(x+c) moves this asymptote c units left, so, increasing c in ln(x+c),will move the asymptote further left in the amount of an increase in c.
..
Increasing c in ln(x+c) will move the x-intercept further to the left in the amount of the increase in c.
