graph{x=y^2+2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Graph as you normally would; treat the $x$ like a " $y$ " and the $y^2$ like an " $x^2$ "

The only difference is the graph (parabola) is going to end up sideways as the axes are flipped.

Sample table to fill in:
${: ( y, x), (1, 3), (2, 6), (3,11), (4,18), (5,27) :}$
...and so on.
