@dumbcow ?

dumbcow · Answer

$$y = \pm a (x-h)^2 + k$$
h translates horizontally  
k translates vertically
a is stretch factor
If "a" is negative, then graph is reflected across the x-axis

dumbcow · Answer

(h,k) is the new vertex
(2,2) from origin means a shift 2 up and 2 to right

nermaljean99 · Answer

I was thinking B.. but i am not sure...

dumbcow · Answer

what about the reflection .... a is neg in this case

nermaljean99 · Answer

uh.... C?

dumbcow · Answer
