Answer

Instead of shifting the graph of $f(x)$ by $h$ units to the right, we shift it to the left.

Work Step by Step

If $h$ is positive, then the graph of $f(x-h)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f(x)$ by $h$ units to the right. If $h$ is negative, then the graph of $f(x+h)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f(x)$ by $h$ units to the left.
