Graphing a Line Using a Table of Values

The video tutorial explains how to graph the line Y = 2/3X - 4 using a table of values. It emphasizes selecting X values that are multiples of the denominator to avoid fractions, making it easier to plot points. The tutorial demonstrates substituting these X values into the equation to find corresponding Y values, which are then plotted to form a straight line. The process is verified by ensuring the points align on the graph, confirming the accuracy of the work.

What is the first step in graphing the line y = 2/3x - 4 using a table of values?

• Select y values and find corresponding x values

• Select x values and find corresponding y values

• Plot random points on the graph

• Use a calculator to find the line

Why is it beneficial to select x values that are multiples of the denominator in the equation y = 2/3x - 4?

• To make the graph look better

• To avoid fractional y values

• To ensure y values are fractions

• To make calculations more complex
