This is a function. We can fill a table with values.
We solve for y.
y = 15 - 1/3x
Values
x | 0 | 3 | 6 | -3 |
y=15 - 1/3x | 0 | 14 | 13 | 16 |
In the table above, I used the value of x in the first row, to calculate the value of y in the second row.
I am the person that chooses the values for the first row, and I use the expression to calculate the values in the second row.
I calculated 4 ordered pairs of values (0, 0), (3, 14), (6, 13), (-3, 16).

Sorry, there is a mistake in the table. The first value should read (0, 15), not (0, 0).
This is an explanation how we get infinitely many pairs, not drawing a line. Thank you, Kenneth, for pointing this to me.
