Graph Using a Table of Values y=-8x

$y = - 8 x$

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

$y = - 8 \cdot - 2$

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 8 \cdot - 2$

Multiply $- 8$ by $- 2$ .

$y = 16$

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

$y = - 8 \cdot - 1$

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 8 \cdot - 1$

Multiply $- 8$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 8$

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

$y = - 8 \cdot 0$

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 8 \cdot 0$

Multiply $- 8$ by $0$ .

$y = 0$

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

$y = - 8 \cdot 1$

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 8 \cdot 1$

Multiply $- 8$ by $1$ .

$y = - 8$

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