You can put this solution on YOUR website!

y=x%5E2-3
Let's see the points on the graph:
f%28y%29=x%5E2-3
f%280%29=0%5E2-3=-3 ------>(0,-3)
f%281%29=1%5E2-3=1-3=-2------->(1,-2)
f%282%29=2%5E2-3=4-3=1-------->(2,1)
f%28-1%29=-1%5E2-3=1-3=-2----->(-1,-2)
f%28-2%29=-2%5E2-3=4-3=1------>(-2,1)
Let's draw the graph then thru the points:

Thank you,
