You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To graph it you don't have to figure out the problem.
Create a table with x and y at the top.
put in a value for x and calculate the value for y.
put a dot on graph paper for those values. Use small whole numbers for x values and don't forget negative values for x and x=zero.
pretty soon you'll have a parabola.
