What does increasing the constant c by 4 units in an equation of the form y ax2 c do to its graph?

I'm guessing that your equation is y = ax² + c (as there are limitations as to what punctuation, including mathematical symbols, can be put in a question).
Increasing c by 4 units shifts the graph 4 units up the y-axis.
If you equation was y = ax² - c, then increasing c by 4 units shifts the graph 4 units down the y-axis.

What is the graph of the equation y equals x translated 4 units up?
It is y = x + 4
What is the equation if the graph of fx3x is translated up 4 units?
I am not entirely sure what the equation is supposed to be. However, to translate something 4 units up (4 units in the y-direction), simply replace every "y" in your equation by "y - 4". Simplify the result if you want.
When you shift the graph of an equation left or right does every instance of x in the equation changes?
Yes. For example, if you want to shift the graph 5 units to the right, you must replace every instance of "x" by "x-5".
When you shift the graph of an equation up or down does every instance of x in the equation change?
Yes, for example if you have y=x but you shifted the equation up 3 units hence: y=x+3. than you will receive a different y from every instance (point) of x. Reference: collegemathhelper.com/2015/11/horizontal-graph-transformations-for.html
Is f(x) shifted downward a units?
To shift a funcion (or its graph) down "a" units, you subtract "a" from the function. For example, x squared gives you a certain graph; "x squared minus a" will give you the same graph, but shifted down "a" units. Similarly, you can shift a graph upwards "a" units, by adding "a" to the function.
How do you graph a constant?
The graph of y = c, a constant will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis and c units from it..
To shift the graph of an equation a certain number of units down you need to that number to from the functions equation?

What happens to the graph of y equals x when the equation changes to y equals x - 9?
The graph shifts downward (negative y) by 9 units.
What is the effect on the graph of the equation y equals x2 plus 2 when it is changed to y equals x2 - 4?
the graph is moved down 6 units
When you shift the graph of an equation left or right does every instance of x in the equation changes?
Yes. For example, if you want to shift the graph 5 units to the right, you must replace every instance of "x" by "x-5".
