Question 1048834
{{{ y = x^2 }}}
Just shifting 2 units up, I get:
{{{ y - 2 = x^2 }}}
Note that the point that was formerly
( 0,0 ) is now ( 2,0 )
------------------------
Shifting 3 units to the left, I get:
{{{ y - 2 = ( x + 3 )^2 }}}
Note the point that was formerly
(0,0) is now ( 2, -3 )
------------------------------
Here's the plot of 1st equation and
the final equation:

 {{{ graph( 400, 400, -10, 10, -10, 10, x^2, ( x+3 )^2 + 2 ) }}}
