All you need to do to answer this question is to pick any four values for x, plug those values
into the equation, and find the corresponding values for y. Then write the value of x along
with its corresponding value for y in the form of an ordered pair.
.
For example, let's pick x = 6. Plug that value into the equation and you get:
.
.
If you multiply  times  you get  . Substitute this into the equation and
you then have:
.
.
and combining terms on the right side results in:
.
.
So you know that when x = 6, the corresponding value of y is 3 and you write this as
a coordinate pair .... (6, 3).
.
Now you need to do this same process 3 more times. To make things easy, select values for
x that are divisible by 3 because it will be easy to multiply them by two-thirds and get
a whole number (integer) so that you aren't working with fractions. You could try x = 0,
x = 3, x = 9, x = 12, x = -3, x = -6, x = -9, and so on. Find the corresponding values
of y for each value of x you select by plugging the value for x into the equation and then
solving for y, and finally write the ordered pair in the form:
.
( x value, corresponding y value)
.
Hope that helps you to understand the problem a little better.
