help with graphing this Parabola: x = y^2 - 9

Question

anonymous · Answer

Put these two halves together in the images below.  Basically it's a parabola like normal only turned sideways because the independent and dependent variables have been switched.

$$x=y^2-9$$
$$x+9=y^2 $$
$$\pm \sqrt{x+9} = y $$

This was still very helpful though!!

Plug in when x=0 to find the y-axis (vertical) intercepts, you should get two answers, which you'll see on the graph.  (hint: What's the square root of 9?)

Ah no worries, do I get a medal for answering the wrong question correctly then?  haha

^_^  This is a good tip for all parabolas, knowing how to recognize the ones going "sideways"
