1. Pick a value for 
, it can be anything you like, but I would choose a small integer divisible by 3. Note: Either -3, 0, or 3 would do nicely.
2. Substitute the chosen value in place of , then do the arithmetic to determine the resulting value of 
.
3. Form an ordered pair )
where the value is the value you chose in step 1 and the value is the value you calculated in step 2.
Repeat the process 2 more times chosing a different value for in step 1 each time.
