Answer

a) Shift to the right by $5$ units, shift up by $2$ units. b) Shift to the left by $1$ unit, shift down by $1$ unit

Work Step by Step

$a.$ Since $y=f(x-5)+2$, we start with the graph of $f(x)$ and - shift it to the right by $5$ units ... to get $f(x-5)$, - and raise it up by $2$ units ... to get $f(x-5)+2$. $b.$ Since $y=f(x+1)-1$, we start with the graph of $f(x)$ and - shift it to the left by $1$ unit ... to get $f(x+1)$. - and lower it up by $1$ unit ... to get $f(x+1)-1$.
