In this lesson, we will learn how to shift a parabola in the xy plane by any arbitrary horizontal and vertical shift.  

The horizontal shifting is done by slightly changing the x-coordinate in the function, and the vertical shift is done by changing the y-coordinate.

In this way, we can place the parabola anywhere in the xy plane by using any combination of horizontal shifts and vertical shifts.
