### Solving and Graphing the Equation \( y = x^3 - 2 \)

For the given equation \( y = x^3 - 2 \):

1. **Create a table with ordered pairs that are solutions of the equation:**

#### Step (a): Fill in the ordered pairs. 

Use the given values of \( x \) to calculate the corresponding values of \( y \).

| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|--------|--------|
| -1     |        |
| 0      |        |
| 1      |        |
| 2      |        |

**Calculations:**

- For \( x = -1 \):
  \( y = (-1)^3 - 2 = -1 - 2 = -3 \)

- For \( x = 0 \):
  \( y = 0^3 - 2 = 0 - 2 = -2 \)

- For \( x = 1 \):
  \( y = 1^3 - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1 \)

- For \( x = 2 \):
  \( y = 2^3 - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6 \)

Here is the completed table:

| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|--------|--------|
| -1     | -3     |
| 0      | -2     |
| 1      | -1     |
| 2      | 6      |

2. **Graph the equation based on these ordered pairs.**

To graph this equation, plot each of the ordered pairs \((-1, -3)\), \((0, -2)\), \((1, -1)\), and \((2, 6)\) on a coordinate plane. Draw a smooth curve that passes through these points to represent the equation \( y = x^3 - 2 \).

### Explanation of the Graph:

- The graph of \( y = x^3 - 2 \) is a cubic curve.
- It is symmetrical about the origin.
- It crosses the y-axis at \( (0, -2) \).

This activity helps visualize the correspondence between the values of x and y for the provided equation.
