?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's make a T table it's called this because it looks like T |dw:1442289892384:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in the left column will go x in the right column will go y |dw:1442289912714:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now we pick any number we want let's keep the numbers small and easy to manage so let's say x = 0 what is y if x were 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3*0= 0 so 0,0?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good |dw:1442289993378:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 3*1= (1,3)?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and yes, because x = 0 and y = 0 they pair up to form the point (0,0)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`then 3*1= (1,3)?` also correct if x = 1, then y = 3 we have another point (1,3) |dw:1442290042356:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's do one more point if x = 2, then y = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right! last would be 2,6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, don't forget the surrounding parenthesis

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1442290091651:dw|
