Do you perhaps mean transpose like the music people use it? In math we call it translating. It's when you shift the graph of an equation to the left/right/up/down directions. You do this by replacing your 'x' and or 'y' values with stuff like 'x + n' 'x - n' for x and 'y + n' y - n' for y. Adding 'n' to your direction shifts by 'n' to the left/down (depending on weather you used x or y), conversely subtracting shifts by 'n' to the right/up. Think about it for a bit, it's really just common sense.
