Best Answer

A vertical shift is the vertical motion of a function on a graph through manipulation of the y-coordinates, while simultaneously leaving the x-coordinates unchanged. A horizontal shift is the opposite of a vertical shift, in that the function is moving horizontally by manipulating the x-coordinates and leaving the y-coordinates unchanged.

What can shift a quadratic graph horizontally?

If the equation is a(x-n)2+c, c causes the vertical shift. By setting the part in parenthesis, x-n, equal to 0, you can find the horizontal shift (x-n=0). I hope this helped :)
