How do I graph 6x+3y=-18
-------------------------------
you need two points.
Find the x and the y intercepts.
-----
x-int = ?
Let y=0, then 6x=-18
So, x = -3
That gives you point (-3,0)
------------------------------
y-int = ?
Let x = 0, then 3y = -18
So, y = -6
That gives you point (0,-6)
--------------------------------
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them to get:
