To me, when a question say "graph" or "plot" it means get some graph paper and work out a few points from the equation and then place them on the graph paper and join them up.

It it said "sketch", then i would find certain key points, like the axes intercepts and then do a rough drawing on my normal paper armed with this knowledge and an understanding of the basic shape of the curve.

You decide which you think you are being asked.
