This is a linear equation. To graph a linear equation, you need two points on the line. If x = 0, then y = 0. (Just substitute x=0 into the eqution.) If x = 3, then 3 = 3y, or y = 1. Hence two points on the line are (0,0) and (3,1). Plot these two points on the line and try your best two draw a straight line through them.
