Describing Transformations of Quadratic Functions

We want to draw the graph of the given function, which has the form $y=(x-h{)}^2,$ where $h$ is either a positive or a negative number. $$\begin{array}{c}y=(x-2{)}^2\end{array}$$ To do so, we will first draw the graph of its parent quadratic function, $y=x^2.$ Recall that the graph of $y=x^2$ is a parabola opening upwards, with vertex $(0,0),$ whose axis of symmetry is the vertical line $x=0,$ and passing through the points $(1,1)$ and $(\text{-}1,1).$

Our function is a horizontal translation of the parent function by $2$ units in the positive direction. Thus, we will translate the above graph $2$ units to the right
