If you are asked to graph y = 3x + 1, or y = x2 - x - 6, or y = x3 - 3, do you think it is a good idea to start by plugging in zeros? That is, to let x = 0 and then let y = 0? Why or why not?

I think you should start with a table and then write all your points for x then in the next column your answers for y.

Then take your medium and start drawing.

I suggest your x's should start from 0 and increase by 1 or 2

Then when you reach a certain point then go back to 0 and start doing your negatives.

For example if y = 2x

x | y

0|0

1 | 2

2| 4

3|6

4|8

then

16|32

0|0

-1|-2

-2|-4

Thanks for this question. I am working my way up to brainliest answer and Master Answerer. This answer took a lot of time to type so I hope I get good review.
