The equation given is:

y =x² - 4

To get the ordered pairs, we will simply substitute each x- values into the equation and evaluate

When x =-2

y = (-2)² - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0

The first ordered pair is (-2, 0)

When x = -1

y =(-1)² - 4 = 1 - 4 = -3

The ordered pair is (-1, -3)

When x =0

y = (0)² - 4 = -4

The ordered pair is (0, -4)

When x = 1

y=(1)² - 4 = 1 - 4 = -3

The ordered pair is (1, -3)

When x = 2

y = (2)² - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0

The ordered pair is (2, 0)

Below is the sketch of the graph
