Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose the base formula is y = x^2

You want to go two units left.

basically that is y = (x + 2)^2 just the opposite of what you might think it should be.

Where does the base function have a minimum? It's minimum is as x = 0 and y = 0

Where does y = (x + 2)^2 have it's minimum?

(-2,0)

conclusion. The base function has moved 2 units to the left.
