The vertex (0, 0),
Explanation:
The function
Since it doesn't have a b term, the vertex will be over the y axis. Moreover, since it doesn't have a c term, it will cross the origin. Therefore, the vertex will be located at (0, 0).
After that, just find values for y next to the vertex. At least three points are required to plot a function, but 5 are recommended.
