Let's find the two ordered pairs (x, y) so you can graph them:
6x+8y=288
8y = -6x+288
8y = -6(0)+288
8y = 0+288
8y = 288
y = 36
first ordered pair: (0x, 36)
---------------------
6x+8y=288
6x = -8y+288
6x = -8(0)+288
6x = 0+288
x = 48
second ordered pair: (48, 0)
Go graph them.

6x + 8y = 288
6(0) + 8y = 288 ------- Substituting 0 for x
8y = 288

Therefore,
6x + 8y = 288
6x + 8(0) = 288 ------- Substituting 0 for y
6x = 288

Therefore,
Plot these 2 points on the coordinate plane, and CONNECT them. You now have your graph.
