#### Graphing a Parabola of the Form \( y = ax^2 \)

**Instructions:**

1. **Graph the Parabola:** 
   - Equation: \( y = \frac{1}{4}x^2 \)

2. **Plot Points:**
   - Plot five points on the parabola.
   - Identify and plot the **vertex** of the parabola.
   - Plot **two points to the left** of the vertex.
   - Plot **two points to the right** of the vertex.
   - Click on the "graph-a-function" button.

**Graph Explanation:**

- The graph provided is a coordinate plane with labeled axes.
- X-axis and Y-axis have numbers indicating coordinates to help plot points accurately.
- A grid pattern is present for precision in plotting.

**Controls and Tools:**

- Various symbols and tools are found underneath the graph for plotting:
  - An eraser symbol (likely for removing points or mistakes).
  - A pencil or marker symbol (for drawing or plotting on the graph).

**Helpful Links:**
- Explanation button: Provides further details or assistance if required.
- Check button: Likely used to verify if the plotted points and graph are correct.
