We can't figure out the solution and graph for the following problem:
x - 6y = -12
----------------
It's a straight line, so you need 2 points.
One option is to find the intercepts.
Set x = 0 to find the y-int: --> (0,2)
Set y = 0 to find the x-int: --> (-12,0)
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
