Answer

Parabola

Work Step by Step

$x={{y}^{2}}+2y$ $\begin{align} & x={{y}^{2}}+2y+1-1 \\ & x={{\left( y+1 \right)}^{2}}-1 \\ \end{align}$ Now compare this with the standard equation of a parabola, $x=a{{\left( y-k \right)}^{2}}+h$, where $\left( h,k \right)$ is the vertex. Thus, the above equation represents a parabola with the vertex at$\left( -1,-1 \right)$. To draw the graph, choose some values of x and compute the corresponding y values. $\begin{matrix} x & y \\ 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -2 \\ -1 & -1 \\ 8 & 2 \\ \end{matrix}$ Now plot all the points.
