EL-9650/9600c/9450/9400 Graphing Calculator Graphing Parabolas The graphs of quadratic equations (y = ax + bx + c) are called parabolas. Sometimes the quadratic equation takes on the form of x = ay + by + c. There is a problem entering this equation in the calculator graphing list for two reasons: a) it is not a function, and only functions can be entered in the Y= list locations, b) the functions entered in the Y= list must be in terms of x, not y.
