      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-6) = y^2 .
 a  rough  sketch  shows  this  to  be  an  x  parabola.  opening  to  right,  with  vertex  at (6,0)
 .
 This  is  a  relation,,but  not  a  function.  For  each  value  of  x,  there is  a  +/- value  of  y,  and  it  would  fail  the  vertical  line  test.
 .
 Domain is,,,,[6,infinity),,,that  is 6<=x
.
 Range  is,,,,(- infinity,+infinity),,,that  is  -infinity
