How Do You Graph The Line X Y 2 Socratic Answer (1 of 11) There's a simple answer, if you don't wish to think — you can find it in all the other answers given But I'll assume you'd like to understand what's happening here I tutor fifth and sixthgrade students and this is exactly how I'd describe it to them The graph of x^2 y^2 Let's work backwards First we need to identify the parent function x^2 graph{y=x^2} Let's shift the graph to the right 3 units y = (x3)^2 graph{y=(x3)^2} Now up 4 units y=(x3)^24 graph{y=(x3)^24} Now we can stretch this by a factor of 2 y=2(x3)^24 graph{y=2(x3)^24} Our last step is to flip the graph across the xaxis y=2(x3)^24 graph{y=2(x3)^24} Does X^2 (y-x^(2/3))^2=1 graph
