Damion · Answer 1

(x-8) ^2=y

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate to the right or left, we must change the input, or x. As the original function is 8 units to the left of the changed function, we must subtract 8 from the input in the second function, resulting in (x-8) ^2=y being our new equation
