When you see this type of equation your get the variables H and K in a quadratic equation. In this case the (x-2)^2 +1 is your H. The (x-2)^2 +1 is your K.
For the H you always do the opposite so in this case instead of going to the left 2 times you go to the right 2 times (affects your x)
For the K you go up or down which in this case you go up one (affects your y)
And that's how you got your (2,1) as the center of the parabola
The original statement is true! the converse: If 2 lines do not intersect, they are parallel the converse is false, the lines could be skew. Hope this helped :)
