Substitute numbers in place of x and solve for y or vice versa and then plot the point(s). When you have enough points try to connect the dots

#

It won't be perfect if you do it by hand, but close enough

Do many values for better accuracy

y=4ax², where a is something i forgot

#

(y-k)=4a(x-h)², where (h, k) is the vertex

#

If sign of RHS is positive it opens upward, otherwise it's downward

#

If y is squared instead of x, parabola opens left or right instead of up or down

#

There are lots of other things you can see in the equation to help you graph. You can do your own research

I think that if he doesnt know how to plot it, he isnt gonna follow that well

And solving for y is more natural in this case
