Question

Use point by point plotting to graph x = y² - 1 (show points and work for credit)

Answer 1

The graph of the function, x = y² - 1 is attached.

How to find the points

The ordered pair is solved by substituting the points accordingly

x = y² - 1

For y = -2, x = (-2)² - 1 = 3

For y = -1, x = (-1)² - 1 = 0

For y = 0, x = (0)² - 1 = -1

For y = 1, x = (1)² - 1 = 0

For y = 2, x = (2)² - 1 = 3
