Do you have graph paper? 
If yes, plot the points.  If no, use geogebra to plot the points.

would regular paper be okay, cause i can't download anything

mathteacher1729 · Answer

It's much easier with graph paper. You don't have to download anything: http://www.geogebra.org/webstart/geogebra.html Geogebra runs off the web and is perfect for problems like this. :)
