Answer:

y = ln( x + 6 ) - 11

h = 6

k = -11

h + k = -5

Explanation:

Horizontal shift changes whats inside the brackets, in other words, changes just the x-value.If the shift is right, the number should be subtracted, if the shift is left, the number should be added.

Vertical shift changes the equation as a whole.if the shift is up, the number of should be added.If the shift is down, the number should be subtracted.

The changes given to us are 3 units left ( horizontal translation ) and 5 units down ( vertical translation )

If we rewrite the equation, we have:

y = ln( x + 3 + 3 ) - 6 - 5

y = ln( x + 6 ) - 11
