Question 164319: I am given the equation
y=-2x
The instructions I am given are as stated, Use a table of values and graph six sets of ordered pairs for the equation. Describe the graph.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You get to choose the ordered pairs.
Pick 6 x values.
Generate 6 y values.
Use those to plot the graph of the equations.
Let's choose x=-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3 just to make it equal on both sides.
f(-3)=-2(-3)=6, (-3,6)
f(-2)=-2(-2)=4, (-2,4)
f(-1)=-2(-1)=2, (-1,2)
f(0)=-2(0)=0, (0,0)
f(1)=-2(1)=-2, (1,-2)
f(2)=-2(2)=-4, (2,-4)
f(3)=-2(3)=-6, (3,-6)

Now plot those ordered pairs.
Connect the points.

Looks like a straight line through the origin sloping downward.
