standard equation formula is y = mx +b
x +6y = -6
6y = -x -6
y = -(1/6)x +1
graph of this equation
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-8%2C+8%2C+-8%2C+8%2C+-x%2F6+%2B1%29+

graph the equation x+6y=(-6)
----
Solve for "y":
6y = -x-6
-------
y = (-1/6)x - 1
-------
Plot two points;
If x = 0, y = -1
If x = 6, y = -2
-------
Draw a line thru (0,-1),(6,-2)
