Answer:

The graph has been moved 7 units to the left and 8 units down.

Explanation:

When numbers are added directly to the "x" value, the graph shifts to the left. If negative numbers are added directly to the "x" value, the grap shifts to the right. Therefore, if there is a +7 directly altering the "x" value, the function shifts 7 units to the left.

When a number is added to the overall function, it shifts upwards. If this number is negative, the entire function shifts downwards. Therefore, if there is a -8 outside altering the function, then it has been shifted 8 units down.
