I'm assuming you meant ordered pairs.
Solve for y in terms of x:
6x - 8y = 3
8y = 6x - 3
y = (6x - 3) / 8 = (6/8)x - (3/8) = (3/4)x - (3/8)
Now make a table of x values, corresponding y values (found by plugging each x value into the above equation), and (x,y) pairs. The table applies for any value of x but here are a few examples:
x y (x,y)
-5 -33/8 (-5 , -33/8)
-4 -27/8 (-4, -27/8)
-3 -21/8 (-3 , -21/8)
-2 -15/8 (-2 , -15/8)
-1 -9/8 (-1 , -9/8)
0 -3/8 (0 , -3/8)
1 3/8 (1 , 3/8)
2 9/8 (2 , 9/8)
3 15/8 (3 , 15/8)
4 21/8 (4 , 21/8)
5 27/8 (5 , 27/8)
