SOLUTION: Can you help me with this problem? A parabola has vertex (8,3) and one x-intercept. Determine the coordinates of the other x-intercept.

Question 117315: Can you help me with this problem? A parabola has vertex (8,3) and one x-intercept. Determine the coordinates of the other x-intercept.
Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x distance from the vertex to the first x intercept is the same as the distance from the vertex to the second x intercept.
A vertical line through the vertex is a line of symmetry.
For example,

has a vertex at (1,-1)
The first x intercept is x=0, 1 unit away from the vertex.
The second x intercept is x=2, also 1 unit away from the vertex.
