<p>Can anyone explain the answer please?</p>
<p>I can try </p>
<p>Basically it just follows the rules of any graph. So, just ignore the shape.</p>
<p>Rules: (using parent curve of y=f(x))</p>
<p>y=f(x)+c, the graph moves vertically "c" units.</p>
<p>y=f(x+c), the graph moves horizontally "-c" units.</p>
<p>y=-f(x), graph reflects (flips) over the x-axis</p>
<p>y=f(-x), graph reflects over y-axis</p>
<p>So, in the problem because the "2" is inside the parentheses, the graph has to move -2 spaces over. I hope that helps!</p>
