To graph we simply need two points to draw a line through. So lets find the first point:

Let x=0
Plug in x=0

Multiply

So we have a point (0,0)
Here is the point (0,0) plotted on a coordinate system

Now lets find the second point:
Let x=1
Plug in x=6

Multiply

So we have a point (1,3). Add this to our graph
Here are the points (0,0) and (1,3) plotted on a coordinate system
Now draw a straight line through these points

Graph of with the points (0,0) and (1,3)

To graph we simply need two points to draw a line through. So lets find the first point:

Let x=0
Plug in x=0

Subtract

So we have a point (0,-1)
Here is the point (0,-1) plotted on a coordinate system

Now lets find the second point:
Let x=1
Plug in x=6

Multiply

So we have a point (1,0). Add this to our graph
Here are the points (0,-1) and (1,0) plotted on a coordinate system
Now draw a straight line through these points

Graph of with the points (0,-1) and (1,0)

Let x=0
Plug in x=0

Multiply and subtract

So we have a point (0,-1)
Here is the point (0,0) plotted on a coordinate system

Now lets find the second point:
Let x=1
Plug in x=6

Multiply

Subtract

So we have a point (1,1). Add this to our graph
Here are the points (0,-1) and (1,1) plotted on a coordinate system
Now draw a straight line through these points

Graph of with the points (0,-1) and (1,1)
