Hello,
y = A sin(kx-ωt) travels in direction of positive x axis & has vibrations along x axis.
y = A sin(kx+ωt) travels in direction of negative x axis & has vibrations along y axis.
Both equations represent transverse waves.
A particular waveform travels right along the x axis from left.
Hope it helps
