Graph the equation.
1.
First find the vertex of the parabola,
So the vertex is (2, -4).
Now we need to select several points on both sides of x = 2 and find out y values.
x y
-2 12
-1 5
0 0
1 -3
2 -4
3 -3
4 0
5 5
6 12
Finally connect the points via a smoothing curve.
In excel, Insert-> chart-> scatter plot
2.
It is a straight line equation. We only need two points to graph a line. Usually, we use x- and y- intercepts.
x-intercept: y = 0, -x + 1 = 0, x = 1, (1, 0)
y-intercept: x = 0, y = 0 + 1 = 1, (0, 1)
then connect the two points using a straight line.
3.
x-intercept: (-1, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 1)
4.
The vertex is (0, 0).
Then we complete the following ...
