You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x=0 and solve for y
let y=0 and solve for x
plot those two points and connect with a straight line.

-x -y =3
-Y=X+3
Y=-X-3 THE Y INTERCEPT=(0,-3)
SETTING Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X WE GET:
0=-X-3
X=-3 THE X INTERCEPT=(-3,0)
PLOT THESE 2 INTERCEPTS & DRAW THE LINE BETWEEN THEM.
