4. The number of x-intercepts produced by the quadratic formula may be 0, 1, or 2. It will be 0 if the two roots are complex. It will be 1 if the two roots lie in the same place (one root with multiplicity 2). It is true that there may be only one x-intercept.

5. The value of 'b' in the quadratic formula is the coefficient of the linear term. In the given quadratic, it is -5, not 5.
This transformation takes a vector (x,y) and maps it to the vector (x+2, y+16). In other words, it moves the X coordinate of the vector 2 units to the right, and the Y coordinate of the vector is moved 16 units upwards.
If you would take a set of points and apply this transformation, you would see the entire set moving upwards and to the right, with no stretching ou rotating. This type of transformation is called a translation transformation.
