When shifting conics, if x is replaced by x - h then the graph is shifted

• Upwards h units

• Left h units

• Right h units

• Downwards h units

When shifting conics, if x is replaced by x + h, then the graph is shifted

• Upwards h units

• Left h units

• Right h units

• Downwards h units

When shifted conics, if y is replaced by y - k, then the graph is shifted

• Downwards k units

• Right k units

• Left k units

• Upwards k units

When shifting conics, if y is replaced by y + k then the graph is shifted

• Upward h units

• Upwards k units

• Downwards h units

• Downwards k units
