Answer

$\bf \color {blue}{(0,0),\pm(1,1),\pm(2,8)}$

Work Step by Step

$$\bf{y=x^3}$$ $\bf \text{Let's use positive and negative perfect cubes for }y$ if $y=\pm0$: $0=x^3$ $0=x$ $\bf \color {blue}{(0,0)}$ if $y=\pm1$: $1=x^3$ or $-1=x^3$ $1=x$ or $-1=x$ $\bf \color {blue}{(1,1),(-1,-1)}$ if $y=\pm8$: $8=x^3$ or $-8=x^3$ $2=x$ or $-2=x$ $\bf \color {blue}{(2,8),(-2,-8)}$ So some of the points are: $\bf \color {blue}{(0,0),\pm(1,1),\pm(2,8)}$ Which we can graph as:
