Pick any value you like for and substitute that value into the equation in place of . Solve the resulting single-variable linear equation for . Use the value of that you chose and the value of that resulted from your calculation to create an ordered pair . Plot that point on your graph.

Repeat the process for two different values of . If the three points you have plotted are not in a straight line, check your arithmetic and check that you plotted the points correctly.

Draw a straight line through your three points.

Hint: Choose small integers for . I would start with and . Keeps the arithmetic simple and less prone to error.
