Using the definition of the Vertical shifts of graphs of the function :
"Suppose c>0,
To graph y=f(x)+c, shift the graph of y=f(x) upward c units.
To graph y=f(x)-c, shift the graph of y=f(x) downward c units"
Again we recall the definition of Horizontal shifts of graphs:
" suppose c>0,
the graph y=f(x-c), shift the graph of y=f(x) to the right by c units
the graph y=f(x+c), shift the graph of y=f(x) to the left by c units. "
consider is the parent function.
shifts the graph
upward by 8 units
shifts the graph
downward by 8 units
shifts the graph
left by 8 units
shifts the graph
right by 8 units.
