STEPS:

1. TO SKETCH A GRAPH. FIRST YOU NEED TO MAKE A TABLE OF VALUES

2. THE TWO POINTS YOU WILL GET, YOU NEED TO PLOT IT ON THE GRAPH

3. CONNECT THE POINTS AND MAKE A LINE WHICH IS CURVED

4. YOUR PARABOLA IS FORMED

SKETCHING PARABOLAS

For example, if we have y=x². We can use a step pattern that can help us sketch a parabola. There is a parabola shown below of y=x²and y=2x². The step pattern is: 

 

EXAMPLES:

 

y=2x²

 

y=2x²

y=x²
