Graph Using a Table of Values y=6x

$y = 6 x$

Step 1

Substitute $- 2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 6 (- 2)$

Step 2

Multiply $6$ by $- 2$ .

$y = - 12$

Step 3

Substitute $- 1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 6 (- 1)$

Step 4

Multiply $6$ by $- 1$ .

$y = - 6$

Step 5

Substitute $0$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 6 (0)$

Step 6

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 6 (0)$

Multiply $6$ by $0$ .

$y = 0$

Step 7

Substitute $1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 6 (1)$

Step 8

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 6 (1)$

Multiply $6$ by $1$ .

$y = 6$

Step 9

Substitute $2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$y = 6 (2)$

Step 10

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = 6 (2)$

Multiply $6$ by $2$ .

$y = 12$

Step 11

This is a table of possible values to use when graphing the equation.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - 2 & - 12 \\ - 1 & - 6 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 6 \\ 2 & 12 \end{array}$
