Please see below.

Explanation:

As x=y^2+2y+2

or x=y^2+2y+1+1

or x=(y+1)^2+1

Hence, this is a parabola whose vertex is (1,-1) and axis of symmetry is y+1=0

Let us select some points around y=-1 say y=-4,-3-2,-1,0,1,2

for these corresponding values of x are x=10,5,2,1,2,5,10

and draw points (10,-4), (5,-3), (2,-2), (1,-1), (2,0), (5,1) and (10,2). Joining them forms a curve as follows.

graph{y^2+2y+1+1-x=0 [-2.71, 17.29, -5.72, 4.28]}
