Question:
Graph the equation x-y=6
Answer:

First rewrite the equation in the form, y = mx + c

That is .....

y = x-6
Now give arbitrary values for x and hence find the corresponding values of y

That is...
When, x = 6, y = 6-6 = 0

When, x = 5, y = 6-5 = 1

When, x = 4 y = 6-4 = 2

when x = 3, y = 6-3 = 3 and so on


The you will get the coordinators as follows...
(6,0), (5,1), (4,2), (3,3) and so on


Now plot these coordinates in the graph paper....then the graph will come like this...

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-9%2C+9%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x-6+%29+

hope you found the explanation useful.....
