To graph an exponential, you need to plot a few points, and then connect the dots and draw the graph. Where do you come up with values to use in the graph?

An exponential function is defined for every real-number input, so you can choose real values for x in a T-chart and calculate the corresponding y-values. In practice, you use a few convenient inputs to get points to plot; you do not choose y-values randomly.
