HELP QUICK! A parabola, (y + 2)2 = 8(x - 3), is changed to (y + 10)2 = 8(x - 3). How will this affect the graph of the parabola?
A)
The vertex will shift up.
B)
The vertex will shift down.
C)
The vertex will shift to the left.
D)
The vertex will shift to the right.

B) The vertex will shift down.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a parabola, (y - k)² = 4p(x - h), (h, k) is the vertex.

The original parabola's vertex was (3, -2).

In the new parabola, the y-coordinate changed to -10, making the new vertex (3, -10).

So, the parabola's vertex shifted down 8 units from -2 to -10.
