This is a piece of cake, since you are given the y-intercept and the slope of the line! Start by graphing the y-intercept by going DOWN 9 units on the y-axis, and put a point. Now the slope is -6/7, so the RISE is -6, and the RUN is 7. Now, with your pencil on the y-intercept that you just graphed, move DOWN 6 more units, then go to the RIGHT 7 units and put the next point. Connect the dots, and it should look like this:
