X
,
Y
) based on functions in the Y= editor. For

Y=2X+3
is defined in the Y= editor, a corresponding table of (
X

Y
) values could look

example, you will display the table values (
X
,
Y
) for a function defined in the
Y= editor following these main steps.
1. Define a function (
Y
1
=2X+3
) in the Y= editor ( & ).
2. Set up your table in the
TABLE SETUP
screen (
\ 
).
3. Display the table ( - i ).
The following settings in the table setup (
\ 
) screen determine how the table is
displayed.
