Practice makes perfect
Let's graph using a table. First select some arbitrary values from the domain, then substitute them for x in the given equation. Solving for y will give us the corresponding values from the range.
x
3x=y
Simplify
-1
3( -1)=y
y= -3
0
3( 0)=y
y= 0
1
3( 1)=y
y= 3
Using these x and y values as ( x, y) coordinate pairs, we can plot the points. Connecting these points will give us the graph of the equation.
