You want two (x,y) points. You have an equation for a LINE, and the equation is in standard form. This allows you to identify (with a couple of calculations) the x and y intercepts.

6%2A0%2B4y=24, what is y?
Meaning, what is y when x=0?
6x%2B4%2A0=24, what is x?
Meaning, what is x when y=0?

That should give your points. Plot them and draw the line.
