Easier to first solve the equation for y in terms of x.
Now assign a few values for x and evaluate the corresponding values for y.
Graph the (x,y) points.



But that is not the only way.


If x is 0, then y is -2.
Point (0,-2).
If y is 0, then x is -6.
Point (-6,0).

GRAPH THOSE POINTS. DRAW THE LINE THROUGH THEM.
