This problem is a linear equation. It can be solved by graphing to find all the points that will satisfy the equation. First let us convert the equation to slope intercept form with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept (0,b).

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the y variable

This leaves us with
We can simplify the fractions to get them to lowest terms
and
When we put the equation in the proper order we get
From this we can see that the slope is and the y intercept is (0,4/3) or (0,1.33)
We can now graph the y intercept at (0,1.33) and take the slope which is and locate our next point.

Thanks!
