All you need to do is provide x values and then use the function to generate y values.
x=0, y=%281%2F2%290-4=-4
x=1, y=%281%2F2%291-4=1%2F2-8%2F2=-7%2F2
Continue in that manner until you have the number of ordered pairs you want.

Step 1: Select a value for . It can be anything you like, but I recommend choosing a small even integer for this problem.

Step 2: Do the indicated arithmetic to determine the value of that corresponds to the selected value of .

Step 3: Create the ordered pair using the values determined in steps 1 and 2.

Step 4: Record the results of steps 1 through 3 as one row of your table.

Step 5: Repeat the steps 1 through 4 at least one more time. You may have to repeat the first four steps several times depending on the number of table entries required by your text or your instructor's instructions.
