Step 1. Pick a value for x. Pick something simple like 0 or 1 to make the arithmetic easy.
Step 2. Put the value into the equation whereever x appears.
%280%29%2B3y=6, 3y=6, y=2
Step 3. Take the value you chose for x and the value you calculated for y and put them into ordered pair form (x comes first). (0,2).

Step 4. Plot this point on the graph


Step 5. Select a different value for x and repeat steps 1 through 4. Let's try 3. 3%2B3y=6, 3y=3, y=1, new ordered pair is (3,1).



Step 6. Draw a line through the two points.
