Graph the function by hand, not by plotting points, y=(x-3)^{2}

Graph the function by hand, not by plotting points, but by starting with the graph of one of the standard functions, and then applying the appropriate transformations.

We will start with the graph of the standard/parent function $$\displaystyle{y}={x}^{{{2}}}$$
When we shift the graph of $$\displaystyle{y}={f{{\left({x}\right)}}}$$ by k units to the right, we get the graph of $$\displaystyle{y}={f{{\left({x}-{k}\right)}}}$$
Therefore, the graph of $$\displaystyle{y}={\left({x}-{3}\right)}^{{{2}}}$$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $$\displaystyle{y}={x}^{{{2}}}$$ by 3 units to the right.
In the graph below:
The blue dashed parabola represents $$\displaystyle{y}={x}^{{{2}}}$$
The black solid parabola represents $$\displaystyle{y}={\left({x}-{3}\right)}^{{{2}}}$$
