That is a line.
An equation for a line has infinite solutions. The solutions are points on the line.

Make a table of x and y values. Plot the points. Draw a line through the points.

The solution set, a set of ordered pairs of the form such that the coordinate values make the given equation a true statement, has infinite elements.

Pick any real number value you like for . Substitute this value in place of in the equation. Solve the equation for . Form an ordered pair, . Plot the point.

Repeat the above process with a different value for .

Draw a line through the two points, extending to the limits of your graph.

The graph is a partial representation of the solution set of the equation. It is only a partial representation because the line extends on both ends over all of the values in the interval
