    the question is not complete. you need to tell what F(x) is. that will decide how the graph will be!

    But y = f(x) doesn't tell you the nature of the function. It has to be of the form f(x) = something in terms of x not just f(x) = y.

    For example f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 2 would be a parabola.

    Have you been given examples?

    Additional: This can't be all of the question. f(x) = y tells you nothing about the nature of the function. You need to know that, or choose some examples yourself, to describe the shape of the graph of f(x).
