Plug in values for x, solve for y, then pair the corresponding values to find points on the graph.

Explanation:

Plug in values for x, such as -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. The corresponding y-values would be -8, -4, 0, 4, 8, respectively. Pairing these values together would give you the following coordinates: (-2, -8), (-1, -4), (0, 0), (1, 4), (2, 8). Connect these points (preferably using a ruler), and you will obtain the graph of the function in question.
