<p>The locus of kinks would follow x=y^2 but what would the arms look like?</p>

What have you tried to figure this out?

@Giskard I started with finding out the locus of the kinks by taking √x = y. Then I took y=k and √x = k to find the arms of the IC but I was confused about the √x = k arm. I thought that it will be a non - linear arm but the answer below by Amit clarifies the confusion
