The easiest way is to take advantage of Mathematica's ImplicitPlot[]
function. See the help documentation for more info. But after
loading the package it is straight forward.
In[1]:=
<< Graphics`ImplicitPlot`
In[2]:=
ImplicitPlot[x == y^2,{x,-10,10}]
Don't forget the double equal sign. This is a common mistake to make
when beginning.
