This is one way to do it

1) Find the x and y -intercepts

y = -3x + 6

Plug in 0 for "x" and solve for "y"

y = -3(0) + 6

y = 6

That means that when x = 0, y = 6

So plot the first point (0, 6) onto the graph <-- this is your x-intercept by the way

Next do the opposite by plugging in 0 for "y" and solve for "x"

y = -3x + 6

0 = -3x + 6

3x = 6

x = 2

That means that when y = 0, x = 2

Plot the point (0,2) on the graph. This is your y-intercept.

Now, you can just connect the two points and you will get your line.
