While I think you meant:

,

You might just as well have meant:



Which will produce a different result altogether.

Either way, the process is the same. Let's assume you meant:



Step 1: Pick a value, any value, for x. Since it doesn't matter what value you select, I would pick something divisible by 3 since that will make the arithmetic easier. So let's go ahead and use 3 for the first one.

Step 2: Substitute your selected value in place of x and then do the arithmetic required to determine the resulting value of y.





So, when x = 3, y = 2.

Step 3: Form the ordered pair (x,y): (3, 2).

Repeat this process three more times with three different values for x.
