If we transform y = x^2 by 5 units to the left and 8 units up, what is the vertex of the resulting parabola? (-5, 8)
(5,8)
(-5, -8)
(5-8)

(-5, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the vertex of the parabola is on (0, 0), and moved to the left 5 units and up 8 units, the point would be (-5, 8). When a point is moved to the left, the number goes down, and when a point is moved up, it goes up in value. Therefore, you get (-5, 8).
