Graph the quadratic equation, y = x2 -2x -3. The table for the graph is given below:
We can start by filling the table. For x=-2, we can calculate for the y-coordinate by substituting x with -2 into the equation:
Hence, we can fill the table as shown:
Similarly for x=1, we can calculate for the y-coordinate by substituting x with 1 into the equation:
Again, for x=2, we can calculate for the y-coordinate by substituting x with 2 into the equation:
Now, we have a table filled with the following coordinates:
Hence, we can plot the points as shown:
By drawing a curve to join these points together, we get the graph of, y = x2 -2x -3.
