what does the graph of y squared equals 18x look like
y^2=18x
This is an equation of a parabola of the standard form:(y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
For given equation: y^2=18x
vertex: (0,0)
axis of symmetry: y=0 or x-axis
Parabola opens rightwards
4p=18
p=18/4=4.5
focus: (4.5,0
directrix: x=-4.5
plug in an x-value into the equation and you will have the information you need to graph given parabola.
