What is the pattern for graphing y=x^2 ?

the pattern is that the y-coordinate is the x-coordinate squared.

sayou to go to x = 1. then you sqauare that to get 1.

say you got to x = 2. then you square that to get y = 4

say you go to x   = 3. then you square that to get y = 9.

etc.

same with negatives, except everything is still positive

y-y1=4(x-x1)

step-by-step explanation:

this is point-slope form since you only have 4 as the slope it goes in place of m

hope this : )
