agree  Caroline Clarke: Given the first sentence, this seems to be the one - i.e. to be able to draw the graph from the expression (e.g. draw a parabola from y=x^2)

interpret / decipher the graphs


Explanation:
Interpret the graphs of both linear and nonlinear functions.

Time can be stopped to enable pupils to interpret the graphs.

How to Interpret the Graphs

Lydia had read my notes attached to the clipboard at the foot of the bed using her professional expertise to decipher the graphs and squiggles.

Care to decipher the graphs, charts, illustrations, footnotes and other such material will help to clarify what you want to understand after reading the material.

Poorly printed, you can't even decipher the graphs for example.

graph the functions / determine a function from its graph


Explanation:
"deducir las gráficas" to me seems ambiguous enough to cover both activities, which are standard and complementary when teaching trigonometry. You need to either take a given function, analyze it, and graph it, or take a given graph, analyze it, and produce the corresponding function.

Either way, a standard term for creating a graph from a function is "graphing the function"

For analyzing a graph, you could say "determine the function" or "find the function" from its graph. I prefer not to use "derive" because it is sometimes used to mean "take the derivative of", which is another operation entirely.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Let's trying graphing another parabola where a = 1, b = -2 and c = 0."
