Graph the equation $$ \mathrm{y}=-8 \mathrm{x} $$ by first finding some ordered pairs that satisfy the equation and then plotting these points. To graph a linear equation, two points are essential to determine a straight line. In this case, use the two points found in the table above corresponding to $$ x=-1 $$ and $$ x=1 $$. Additional points serve as a check. Use the graphing tool to graph the line using two points. Use the given points to graph the line.

1. Calculate the ordered pair for $$ x=-1 $$:
   - Substitute $$ x=-1 $$ into the equation:
     $$
     y = -8(-1) = 8
     $$
   - The point is $$(-1, 8)$$.

2. Calculate the ordered pair for $$ x=1 $$:
   - Substitute $$ x=1 $$ into the equation:
     $$
     y = -8(1) = -8
     $$
   - The point is $$(1, -8)$$.

3. Additional points for verification (optional):
   - For $$ x=0 $$:
     $$
     y = -8(0) = 0
     $$
     - The point is $$(0, 0)$$.
   - For $$ x=2 $$:
     $$
     y=-8(2)=-16
     $$
     - The point is $$(2,-16)$$.

4. To graph the line:
   - Plot the points $$(-1, 8)$$ and $$(1, -8)$$ on a coordinate plane.
   - Draw a straight line through these points.
   - The resulting graph is a straight line that passes through all points satisfying $$ y=-8x $$.
To graph the equation $$ y = -8x $$, plot the points $$(-1, 8)$$ and $$(1, -8)$$ on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line through them.
