Factor each one out...
2y-4 = 6x-6
2x+2 = 6y-6
2y-4 = 6x-6
2x+2 = 6y-6

Factoring doesn't help much.
An easy method of graphing parabolas is to make a T-chart (with x and y). Pick a few x-values (like -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2) and then calculate the y-values. I wouldn't really recommend this.
Learning the rules for graphing parabolas will be much more useful. I would give you the link to a website with some good information, but I'm not allowed to post links. You can google "graph parabola" without quotes to find some helpful information.
