Answer

To graph an equation on the coordinate system, we find out values of y for certain values of x. Suppose we take x=0,1,2,3,4,5 ...... and so on. For these values of x, from the equation we can find corresponding values of y. So, we get ordered pairs of x and y. Now, we can plot these points on the system, then join the points to form a graph.
