You don't say what the question is. What you have is a single linear equation in two variables, so the only things you can do are graph it, and determine the slope and the intercepts. If there is a specific question, please share it.
:

:
First put the equation in slope-intercept form
:

:
Now you know the slope of the line is 2/3, and the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4.
:
And here is a graph of the line:
:

:
Also note that the coordinates of any point that lies on the line will satisfy the given equation, and the coordinates of any other point will make the statement false.
:
For example, the point (-6,0) is on the line. is a true statement. On the other hand the point (1,1) is NOT on the line. is a false statement.
