You can find any number of ordered pairs by choosing an $x$ $x$ -value and calculating a $y$ $y$ -value

Explanation:

The equation $y = 8 x$ $y = 8x$ means that the value of $y$ $y$ is $8$ $8$ times bigger than the value of $x$ $x$ .

To find ordered pairs ( $x, y$ $x,y$ ), choose several $x$ $x$ values and then multiply each by $8$ $8$ to find the corresponding $y$ $y$ values.

If $x$ $x$ = 3, then $y = 3 \times 8 = 24$ $y=3xx8=24" "$ which gives: $(3, 24)$ $" "(3,24)$
If $x$ $x$ = 5, then $y = 5 \times 8 = 40$ $y=5xx8=40" "$ which gives: $(5, 40)$ $" "(5,40)$
If $x$ $x$ = -2 then $y = - 2 \times 8 = - 16$ $y=-2xx8=-16" "$ which gives: $(- 2, 16)$ $" "(-2,16)$
If $x$ $x$ = 0, then $y = 0 \times 8 = 0$ $y=0xx8=0" "$ which gives: $(0, 0)$ $" "(0,0)$
