How to change keyframes to linear on FCPx?

I want to have a picture seamlessly move to multiple places on the screen but the problem I'm having when using multiple keyframes is that it slows down and speeds up at the end and beginning, respectively, of every single keyframe which is leaving some ugly, unwanted results. I read online and can only find nearly four year-old posts on this. I can't right click the keyframes in the time-line because the only option it gives me is to delete them. I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go to make them behave linearly and not on a curve D; Anybody know?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

IN the bottom left corner of the Viewer is a little rectangle button with a drop down, set it Transform and it will turn into a rectangle that has four corner points. That activates your ability to see motion paths and keyframes in the viewer. You can right click on a keyframe and change from linear to smooth. That affects, as far as I can tell, both the eases in and out and the curve around the point.

This is far easier to do with precision using Motion but Motion is not an easy leap from FCPX, different metaphor and paradigm,.
