To find seven ordered pairs for the equation \( y = 9 - x^2 \), we can choose different values for \( x \) and compute the corresponding \( y \) values.

Let's choose the following values for \( x \): -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Now, we will calculate \( y \) for each of these \( x \) values:

1. For \( x = -3 \):
\[
y = 9 - (-3)^2 = 9 - 9 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (-3, 0)
\]

2. For \( x = -2 \):
\[
y = 9 - (-2)^2 = 9 - 4 = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (-2, 5)
\]

3. For \( x = -1 \):
\[
y = 9 - (-1)^2 = 9 - 1 = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (-1, 8)
\]

4. For \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 9 - 0^2 = 9 - 0 = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (0, 9)
\]

5. For \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 9 - 1^2 = 9 - 1 = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (1, 8)
\]

6. For \( x = 2 \):
\[
y = 9 - 2^2 = 9 - 4 = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, 5)
\]

7. For \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 9 - 3^2 = 9 - 9 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (3, 0)
\]

Now, we have the seven ordered pairs:
1. \((-3, 0)\)
2. \((-2, 5)\)
3. \((-1, 8)\)
4. \((0, 9)\)
5. \((1, 8)\)
6. \((2, 5)\)
7. \((3, 0)\)

### Graphing the Equation
The graph of the equation \( y = 9 - x^2 \) is a downward-opening parabola. Here are some key characteristics:

- The vertex of the parabola is at the point \((0, 9)\).
- The parabola is symmetric about the y-axis, meaning that the points on the left (negative \( x \)) have identical \( y \) values to the corresponding points on the right (positive \( x \)).
- The parabola intersects the y-axis at \( (0, 9) \) and the x-axis at the points \((-3, 0)\) and \((3, 0)\).

You can plot the points on a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through them to illustrate the shape of the parabola. The shape will peak at the vertex and slope downwards on both sides.
