To graph the proportional relationship given by the equation \( y = -2x \), we can calculate specific points by substituting values for \( x \) into the equation.

  1. For \( x = 0 \): \[ y = -2(0) = 0 \quad \rightarrow \quad (0, 0) \]

  2. For \( x = 1 \): \[ y = -2(1) = -2 \quad \rightarrow \quad (1, -2) \]

  3. For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) = -4 \quad \rightarrow \quad (2, -4) \]

Now we have the points:

  • \( (0, 0) \)
  • \( (1, -2) \)
  • \( (2, -4) \)

These points can be plotted on the coordinate plane, and when connected, they will form a straight line that extends infinitely in both directions.

Looking at the description of your image responses, the correct set of points that represent the equation \( y = -2x \) is the one labeled:

left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 right parenthesis.
