graph the line x-2y=6
-----------------------
Solve for "y":
2y = x-6
y = (1/2)x - 3
----------------
Let x = 0, then y = -3 giving you point (0,-3)
Let x = 2, then y = -2 giving you point (2,-2)
-------------------
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them to see the graph:

It's a straight line. Plot 2 points and draw a line thru them.
x = 0 --> y = -3 (0,-3) 1 point
y = 0 --> x = 6 (6,0) 2nd point
