Answer by josgarithmetic(39621) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First suggestion: What do the plotted points look like? Can you find a clear numerical pattern?

Second suggestion: What are you studying (topic, not necessarily just which course)?

Your data set is a simple one. You should easily fit a (do you know what kind) function to it.

Still more direct: Notice the point (0,-4).
What is the vertical change to horizontal change ratio for each neighboring pair of data points?
