what do you think? think about the first question we do. which one it's transforming? x or y?

Basically this equation gives you 2 things:

y= (x+a) + b 

"a" will give you the horizontal transformation. (right and left) If it is a negative number, it will be translated to the right. If it is positive, it will be translated to the left.

"b" gives you the vertical transformation.(up and down). If it is positive, it is up
If it is negative, it is down
