If you are using a calculator just plug it in and hit graph.

If you are doing it by hand, start with making a X-Y Table. Plug in X values into the equation to get a Y value out. Plot about 5 points on the graph to get a basic look at the parabola.

To get the right the values, you want to start with the vertex and go out from there. To start, you need to find the axis of symmetry (-b/2a)

[From the basic equation of ax squared +bx + c] That is the X Value for the vertex. Plug that in to find the Y Value for the vertex.

The more points you find the more accurate the graph but normally 5 is enough (vertex and two on left and right)
