The parabola (y-3)² = 4(x-2) is translated by [1, 2], producing a parabola with a peak point ...?

Sorry, I mean [1, 2] is a matrix with ordo (2x1)

The peak point, the vertex, is the point where the squared part vanishes,# y=3, x=2# that is, #(2,3)# and translating that by #(1,2)# gives #(3,5)#.

Explanation:

This is a sideways parabola because #y# is squared, not #x#.

graph{(y-3)^2 = 4(x-2) [-1.45, 18.55, -1.96, 8.04]}
