Graphing Equations by Plotting Points

This video tutorial covers graphing equations by plotting points, focusing on the equation y = 2^x. It begins with calculating outputs for positive X values, identifying patterns in the table, and then moves to calculating outputs for negative X values, explaining properties of exponents. Finally, it demonstrates plotting these points on a Cartesian plane, emphasizing the pattern of outputs approaching zero but never reaching it.

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

• y = 2x

• y = x^2

• y = 2^x

• y = x/2
