Given the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8, translate the parabola along the X axis to make it pass through the origin? What does (1) translation along the X axis mean? (2) Does passing through the origin mean that the vertex of the parabola passes through the origin?

Given the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8, translate the parabola along the X axis to make it pass through the origin? What does (1) translation along the X axis mean? (2) Does passing through the origin mean that the vertex of the parabola passes through the origin?

Let the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8 = 0, get x = 4 or x = - 2 (that is, find the abscissa of the intersection of the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8 and X axis). So translate the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8 along the X axis by 4 units to the left or 2 units to the right, so that the parabola y = x ^ 2-2x-8 = 0 passes through the origin
