&lt;b&gt;Step 1:&lt;/b&gt;  Select a value for *[tex \Large x].  It can be anything you like, but generally speaking, small integers make for easier arithmetic.  Given the coefficient on *[tex \Large x] in your problem, a small even integer would be a good choice.


&lt;b&gt;Step 2:&lt;/b&gt; Substitute the value you chose in Step 1 for *[tex \Large x] in your function and then do the arithmetic required to determine the value of *[tex \Large f(x)].


&lt;b&gt;Step 3:&lt;/b&gt; Create an ordered pair, *[tex \Large \left(x,\,f(x)\right)], consisting of the value you selected in Step 1 and the value you calculated in Step 2.


&lt;b&gt;Step 4:&lt;/b&gt; Plot the point you created in Step 3 on an appropriately scaled set of coordinate axes.


&lt;b&gt;Step 5:&lt;/b&gt; Repeat Steps 1 through 4 selecting a different value for *[tex \Large x].


&lt;b&gt;Step 6:&lt;/b&gt; Draw a line through the two plotted points all the way across the graph.


Done.
