If you want to sketch graphs you have to observe the parabola first then find the vertex afterwards you connect them and you've arrived at your answer. In order to write equations for parabolas it has to have x square in it.

The standard equation for a parabola is

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h)

where h and k are the x- and y-coordinates of the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a non zero real number. This website at the related link should help, for the equation at least. A parabola is a basic U shaped graph that meets at one point called a vertex. The equation for Andy parabola must have a number being squared such as x2.
