Select a set of x values and find the value of y or f(x) - depending on how the parabola is defined. These are the values that you need to graph.

it will form a parabola on the graph with the vertex at point (0,0) and points at (1,1), (-1,1), (2,4), (-2,4)......
One way would be to graph the two equations: the parabola y = x² + 4x + 3, and the straight line y = 2x + 6. The two points where the straight line intersects the parabola are the solutions. The 2 solution points are (1,8) and (-3,0)
They are all the points where the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis.
All of the points on a parabola define a parabola. However, the vertex is the point in which the y value is only used for one point on the parabola.
Any type of graph is a pictorial representation of data values. A continuous line graph, such as a curve or a parabola, may represent a variable equation.
