Refer Answer section.

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation as
# y =x^2+6x-5#

First find the vertex -
#x=(-b)/(2a)=(-6)/(2 xx 1)=-3#

Take a few points on either side of #-3#. For the values of #x# find #y# values. Pair them. Plot them. Join all the pints with the help of a smooth curve.

x: y
-6: -5
-5: -10
-4: -13
-3: -14
-2: -13
-1: -10
