Answer

PLot with points as mentioned below

Work Step by Step

Plot $y^2 = x$ Observation 1. $(0, 0)$ lies on the graph 2. $x = y^2$ so x will always be positive 3. $+y, -y$ will gave same x, so graph symmetric about x-axis 4. Graph will be a parabola as it is of the form $y^2 = 4ax$ 5. Plot the graph with y = 0, 1, 2, 3 and finding corresponding x and then take mirror image about x-axis
