Graphing Functions and Analyzing Outputs

This video tutorial teaches how to graph equations by plotting points. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a detailed explanation of input and output values. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate ordered pairs and plot them on a coordinate plane. Finally, it shows how to verify the results using a graphing calculator.

What is the equation used in this lesson to graph by plotting points?

• y = 2x + 1

• y = x - 2

• y = 1/2x - 2

• y = 1/3x + 2
