Graph y=-x%5E2%2B4

Step 1. Form two columns: one for x and one for y. Try different values of x say -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Substitute x into the equation for y. For example when x=0, then y=0^2+4=4. So one point on the graph is (0,4) and see graph in Step 2. Try the other values of x.
Step 2. Here's the graph:

graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x%5E2%2B4%29

I hope the above steps were helpful.
