No, a parabola is the whole curve, not just a part of it.

The vertex of this parabola is at -2 -3 When the y-value is -2 the x-value is -5. The coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation is -3.
Open to the right. Like the sign for a proper subset, or a rounded version of the less than symbol, <.
The given equation of the parabola is in the vertex form (y - 8 = a(x + 5)^2 + 2). Here, (a) is the coefficient of the squared term. Since the coefficient of ((x + 5)^2) is positive (as it's implied to be 1), the parabola opens upwards. Therefore, the parabola opens in the direction of positive y-values.
