Answer
A shift of $q(z)$ $b$ units to the left and $a$ units downward graphically.
Work Step by Step
The transformation $f(x)$ to $f(x-a)$ for all positive values of $a$ results in a rightward shift of $a$ units graphically. However, this is a shift of $q(x-(-b))=q(x+b)$, or $b$ units leftward. The transformation $g(x)$ to $g(x)-a$ results in a downward shift of $a$ units for all positive values, so the graph will be shifted down $a$ units.
