The graph of a quadratic function y = ax² is a VERTICAL parabola open upward or downward depending whether a (the coefficient of x) is positive or negative

The graph y² = ax or y = √ax is a HORIZONTAL parabola open to the right or to the left depending whether a (the coefficient of x) is positive or negative
