$\begin{array}{c} x & f (x) \\ - 4 & - 8 \\ - 2 & 5 \\ - 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & - 3 \\ 2 & - 5 \\ 4 & 8 \end{array}$

Step 1

To plot $(- 4, - 8)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $4$ units and down $8$ units.

$(- 4, - 8)$

Step 2

To plot $(- 2, 5)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $2$ units and up $5$ units.

$(- 2, 5)$

Step 3

To plot $(- 1, 3)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $1$ units and up $3$ units.

$(- 1, 3)$

Step 4

To plot $(0, 0)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $0$ units and up $0$ units.

$(0, 0)$

Step 5

To plot $(1, - 3)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $1$ unit and down $3$ units.

$(1, - 3)$

Step 6

To plot $(2, - 5)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $2$ units and down $5$ units.

$(2, - 5)$

Step 7

To plot $(4, 8)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $4$ units and up $8$ units.

$(4, 8)$

Step 8

List the points below:

$(- 4, - 8), (- 2, 5), (- 1, 3), (0, 0), (1, - 3), (2, - 5), (4, 8)$
