If I'm not incorrect, the graph would translate 2 units up and 5 units left, the number outside the parentheses is the vertical shift, and the number inside it is the horizontal shift. I always tell my self that the vertical shift keeps its sign while the horizontal shift changes direction in this case "+5" would move the graph to the left.
