Part I – Graphing with a Table of Values Basic Function Types: Knowing these will give you an initial idea of the shape of a graph. Type of FunctionPropertiesExample

Graphing y = Create a table of values. Plot the points on a graph. Draw a smooth line/curve through the points. (You should know the shape before you start). Enter the function into your calculator. Does that graph match your graph? (you might need to change your window settings to see the graph fully). x y = Points
