Functions other than parabolas can be translated. When calculating $f(x),$ if we replace $x$ with $x-h,$ where $h$ is a constant, the graph will be moved horizontally. If we replace $f(x)$ with $f(x)+k,$ the graph will be moved vertically. Use the graph below. (GRAPH CANT COPY) Draw a graph of each of the following. $$ y=f(x)+2 $$
