Question

given the function below, fill in the table of values and use the table values to graph.
$y = x - 1$

$x$	$y = x - 1$
$-2$
$-1$
$0$
$1$
$2$
$3$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x = -3

Substitute \( x = -3 \) into \( y = x - 1 \). So \( y = -3 - 1 \).

Step2: Calculate the value

\( -3 - 1 = -4 \). So when \( x = -3 \), \( y = -4 \).
(We can continue for other x values:
For \( x = -2 \): \( y = -2 - 1 = -3 \)
For \( x = -1 \): \( y = -1 - 1 = -2 \)
For \( x = 0 \): \( y = 0 - 1 = -1 \)
For \( x = 1 \): \( y = 1 - 1 = 0 \)
For \( x = 2 \): \( y = 2 - 1 = 1 \)
For \( x = 3 \): \( y = 3 - 1 = 2 \)
But the first blank (x=-3) is calculated as above.)

Answer:

For \( x = -3 \), the value of \( y \) is \(-4\). (And the complete table values are: when \( x=-3, y=-4 \); \( x=-2, y=-3 \); \( x=-1, y=-2 \); \( x=0, y=-1 \); \( x=1, y=0 \); \( x=2, y=1 \); \( x=3, y=2 \))
