table of values for the equation -3y + 6x = -6
----------
Solve for y.
Then pick values for x and find the value of y.

You can do that yourself.
Simplify your equation first.------------------- y-2x=2
which you can write as y=2x%2B2.
From this, what to do is clear enough!

Solve for y
-3y+%2B+6x+=+-6

-3y+=++-6x-6

y+=++%28-6x-6%29%2F%28-3%29

y+=++%28-6x%29%2F%28-3%29%2B%28-6%29%2F%28-3%29

y+=++2x%2B2

Compare this to the template y = mx+b
m = 2 = slope
b = 2 = y intercept

Let's plug in x = 0
y+=++2x%2B2

y+=++2%2A0%2B2

y+=++0%2B2

y+=++2
We have x = 0 map to y = 2
The point (0,2) is on the line.

Now let's try x = 1
y+=++2x%2B2

y+=++2%2A1%2B2

y+=++2%2B2

y+=++4
The point (1,4) is also on the line.

Repeat those steps for x = 2, x = 3, x = 4,and x = 5.
We get this table
xy
02
14
26
38
410
512

Each time x goes up by 1, y increases by 2. This is because slope = 2.
The table can be as big or small as you want.

The points
(0,2)
(1,4)
(2,6)
(3,8)
(4,10)
(5,12)
are marked on the graph.
