Translation
 
 
 
Translation is indicated by graphs of the forms:
                                    y = f(x + a)          x-translation
                                    y = f(x) + a          y-translation
 
Graph of y = ex+2
 
                           
The graph of y = ex is translated 2 units to the left
 
Graph of y = e2x-1
 
                          
The graph of y = ex is scaled by 0.5 units along the x-axis and translated 0.5 units to the right
 
Graph of y = ex + 2
 
                      
The graph of y = ex is translated 2 units in the direction of the positive y-axis
