I need help with the following questions.

Graph the parabola with the given equation.

(y-2)^2=6(x-1)

(x+1)^2=6(y-1)

2 answers

Factor each one out...

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.
