Answer:
shift it down 5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting 5 from every y-value moves the graph down 5 units.
To make the new graph, translate every point down 5 units.

Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: 
. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. 
. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. 
. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
