Take the original sin function
Shift to the right #π#
Shift down 1

The original function is #y=sin(x-(x:translation)) + (y:translation)#
With a horizontal shift of x units to the right and y units up.

Because this function is #y=sin(x-pi)-1#

We shift #pi# units to the right
And #-1# units up or #1# unit down

If you need the vertex points of the new function, they are labeled in this photo: https://gyazo.com/8a1bf58c63cd358bc7fea5c8564953db
