To answer the table question, just replace x with every value given for x and solve for y. This will give you 5 different points in the form (x,y) to complete the table of x and y values.

The question "What objects might be in the way as you lay the pipe for the sprinkler?" means nothing without more detail.

y=%28-1%2F2%29x-4
x=_,-2,_,2,8
y=-1,_,-4,_,_
if y=-1 then %28-1%29=%28-1%2F2%29x-4 add 4
3=%28-1%2F2%29x multiply by -2
highlight%28-6=x%29
if x=-2 then y=%28-1%2F2%29%28-2%29-4
y=1-4
highlight%28y=-3%29
if y=-4 then %28-4%29=%28-1%2F2%29x-4 add 4
0=%28-1%2F2%29x
highlight%280=x%29
if x=2 then y=%28-1%2F2%29%282%29-4
y=-1-4
highlight%28y=-5%29
if x=8 then y=%28-1%2F2%29%288%29-4
y=-4-4
highlight%28y=-8%29
x=-6,-2,0,2,8
y=-1,-3,-4,-5,-8
