Graphing a linear function using a table y - 8 = -x

The video tutorial explains how to graph using a table by choosing values other than zero. It emphasizes solving for Y and selecting easy numbers to simplify the process. The instructor advises picking four numbers to verify accuracy and avoid large numbers to keep the graph within a manageable range. Example calculations are provided to demonstrate the method.
