y = 3x -6 is a straight line with upward slope = 3 and y intercept -6
it's x intercept is x=2
plot the intercepts, (2,0) and (0,-6). Connect them with a straight line. That's the graph of the equation.
2 solutions are the intercepts: (2,0) and (0,-6)
for a third solution let x=1, then y = -3 or the point (1,-3)

Thank you for your help! Can you give a breakdown on how you got the solutions? And to be clear the coordinates (1,-3) are not to be plotted on the graph? Thank you!06/18/21

3x - y = 6 is a straight line graph equation
to find ordered pairs of coordinate
let y =0
3x - 0 = 6 , x = 2 ( 2 , 0 ) first pair
let x = 0
3•0 -y = 6 , y = -6 ( 0 , -6) second pair
for third pair take mid point of line
m.p = 2+0/2 , 0+(-6)/2
= 1 , -3
third pair = ( 1 , -3 )
