Theresa Torres · Answer 1

Answer: y = (x + 5) ² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x²

left 5 units: y = (x + 5) ²

up 8 units: y = (x + 5) ² + 8

Ezekiel Fernandez · Answer 2

(-5, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of y=x^2 is at the origin (0,0).

5 units to the left changes the vertex to (-5,0)

Then 8 units up makes it (-5, 8)
