-3x -9y = 18
.
Reorganize to point-slope format: y = mx +b.
.
Add 3x to both sides
-9y = 3x + 18
.
Divide both sides by -9.
y = -(3/9)x + 18/-9
y = -(1/3)x - 2
.
To graph you need two points, since this is a linear equation.
.
If x=0, y = -2: (0,-2)
if y=0, x = -6: (-6,0)
.

.
You can inspect the answer to increase your confidence you are right.
The slope of -1/3 means the line goes down to the right. (It does.)
The slope of -1/3 means that for every change of 3 along x, there is -1 change along y-axis. (Check)
Done.
