Question

How do you graph `x = (5/2)y^2`?

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

This is a quadratic in `y` instead of in `x`. Thus the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

As the `y^2` term is positive the general form of the graph is `sub`. Negative would give `sup`

As there is no constant or `y` term the graphs axis of symmetry is the x-axis and the vertex is at `(x,y)=(0,0)`

The coefficient of `y^2` is greater than one so it has the effect of widening (vertically) the `x=y^2`
