Given the parent function p(x)=x², which phrase best describes the transformation used to obtain the graph of g(x)=(x+a)²-b, if a and b are both positive constants?
A) right a units, up b units
B) right a units, down b units
C) left a units, up b units
D) left a units, down b units

Changes close to x, affect the horizontal, left/right movement (but sort of the opposite direction than you would expect.... + left move and - right move)

A number tacked on to the end of the equation moves the curve up or down as you would guess (+ up and - down)
