Question

How do I graph the parabola?

Answer 1

First of all, find a program or a calculator that will give you the answer. Then you'll know how to make your table. I recommend Desmos. I have inserted the final graph for you.

Make up a table for this graph. Put the lowest point as the central entry in your graph.

x      y
-4
-3
-2
-1
0
Now fill in the y values. 

x       y
-4      1
-3       -3.5
-2        -5
-1       -3.5
0         1

You can use the outline of the parabola and then mark the outline with the points in the table.
