Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y is equal to 2 x squared to the graph of y is equal to 2 x squared plus 5 ?

Adding 5 to the function’s output shifts every point on the graph up by 5 units. Thus, y = 2x² + 5 is the graph of y = 2x² translated 5 units up, so the correct choice is “5 units up.”
