Point A has the coordinates (2,2). What are the coordinates of its image point if it is translated 2 units up and 5 units to the
Marysya12 [62]
A translation of 2 units up will increase the y coordinate by 2 units and a translation by 5 units to the left will decrease the x coordinate by 5. Hence after these translations point (2,2) becomes 

<span>(2 - 5 , 2 + 2) = (-3,4) </span>

When point (-3,4) is reflected in the x axis, its y coordinate changes sign and point (-3 ,4) becomes 

<span>(-3,-4)</span>

horsena [70]

Answer:

x = 1/20 y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a rightward opening  (sideways ) parabola

Directrix = x = -5

Distance formula form point x,y  to directrix and focus are equal:  

(x - -5)^2 = (x-5)^2 + y^2

x^2 + 10x + 25 = x^2 - 10x  + 25 + y^2

20x = y^2

x = 1/20 y^2
