5 A curve has equation \(y = a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants. The curve has a stationary point at \(( - 3,2 )\).
  1. State the values of \(b\) and \(c\). When the curve is translated by \(\binom { 4 } { 0 }\) the transformed curve passes through the point \(( 3 , - 18 )\).
  2. Determine the value of \(a\).
