Graph the solution set for the equation .
  1. Make a table. Choose at least 3 values for and find the corresponding values of using the equation.
  2. Plot the ordered pairs in the coordinate plane.
  3. Notice the points do not fall on a line. Connect the points by drawing a curve through them. Use arrows at each end of the line to demonstrate that the curve continues indefinitely in each direction. This represents all of the solutions for the equation.
