Find three solutions (ordered pairs) of the equation and graph the equation. 3x-y=6

The best approach for this would be to solve this equation for y and then create an x/y table to plug various x values into the function. This will give you as many ordered pairs as you want. Solve for y... 3x - y = 6 -3x -3x -y = -3x + 6 (Divide all by -1) to solve for y y = 3x - 6 x y 0 -6 [-6 = -3 (0) - 6] 1 -3 [-3 = 3(1) -6 ] -1 -9 [-9 = 3(-1) - 6]

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!
