Given:

Axis of symmetry of a parabola is [tex]x=4[/tex].

A point on the parabola is (0,2).

To find:

The another point on the parabola.

Solution:

The point (0,2) lies on the parabola and the axis of symmetry of a parabola is [tex]x=4[/tex].

It means, the another point on the parabola is the mirror image of (0,2) across the line [tex]x=4[/tex] because the parabola is symmetric about the axis of symmetry.

If the point is reflected across the line [tex]x=4[/tex], then

[tex](x,y)\to (-(x-4)+4,y)[/tex]

[tex](x,y)\to (-x+4+4,y)[/tex]

[tex](x,y)\to (-x+8,y)[/tex]

Using this rule, we get

[tex](0,2)\to (-0+8,2)[/tex]

[tex](0,2)\to (8,2)[/tex]

Therefore, the other point on the parabola is (8,2).
