Exercise 33 Page 160

Substituting values from the domain will give the corresponding values from the range.

Table:

x y
-2 10
0 8
2 6

Graph:

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 y-8=- x Simplify
-2 y-8=-(-2) y= 10
0 y-8=-(0) y= 8
2 y-8=-(2) y= 6

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.
