Question

Graph the equation:

$x=y^2$

Short answer

The graph of the given equation is:

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information 

The given equation is$x=y^2$

Step 2. Make a table for values 

Table of values for $x$and $y$is:

y	$x=y^2$
$-2$	role="math" localid="1645950527866" $$\begin{gathered} x={(-2)}^2 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$$
$-1$	$$\begin{gathered} x={\left(-1\right)}^2 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$$
$0$	$$\begin{gathered} x=0^2 \\ x=0 \end{gathered}$$
$1$	$$\begin{gathered} x=1^2 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$$
$2$	$$\begin{gathered} x=2^2 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Graph the function 

Plotting these points on the same cartesian plane and joining them to find them, we get:
