Answer:

1. left 1 unit
2. down 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation g(x) = f(x -h) +k is a translation of f(x) to the right by h units and up k units.

1. h = -1, so the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted left 1 unit. (blue)

2. k = -2, so the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted down 2 units. (green)
