I need to graph this but I don't understand how to get there, teacher didn't cover an equation like this. I have tried subtracting x from both sides leaving 3x - 3 = -y but I don't see how you would get graph points from that. Could you please explain how I can solve this problem? I don't want just the answer, i'd like to know how to solve for future reference.<BR>\n" );
