Hi, Keissa. You can simply plug in different values of x or y to solve for the remaining variable. For example, in the first equation, if x = 0, then 0 - 2y = 6
-2y = 6
y = -3
This ordered pair would be (0, -3)
Now, let y = 0. Then 3x - 0 = 6
3x = 6
x = 2
This ordered pair would be (2, 0)
I will leave the remaining one for you to do for practice.
You can do the same for the second equation. Don't be intimidated by the absolute value sign. Again, let x = 0 and solve for y. Then, let y = 0 and solve for x. Then, try a third point to find the remaining ordered pair. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you!

You're welcome, Keissa. If you are letting x = 0 in the first example for the absolute value problem, then the ordered pair would be (0, -4). Remember, ordered pairs are written in the form (x, y). Then, if you let y = 0, then you have:
0 = -|x + 4| The only time that this expression can be true is when the term inside the absolute-value sign is 0.
0 = x + 4
x = -4 This ordered pair would be (-4, 0).
