Question: How to plot linearized graphs from non-linear equations?

I have an equation,

     y = 2x2+7,

Plotting y against x will give a quadratic graph, but plotting y against x2 should give a straight line. The problem is I cannot do

  plot([y], x2 = -5 .. 5);

It gives me an error

    Error, (in plot) unexpected option: x^2 = -5 .. 5

I have searched online but no links. Can anyone help with this.

 

Thanks
