Most would find it helpful to change the equation to standard form, which is y=mx + b, where m=the slope of the equation and b=the equation's y intercept.

Let's convert 3x-y=6 to standard form by using some algebraic manipulation:

3x - y = 6

3x = 6 + y

3x - 6 = y

y = 3x - 6

Now we know that the slope of this line is 3 and that the y-intercept of this line is -6. To graph, make a point at -6 on the y axis.

Use the slope (rise over run) to make a couple more points, then connect them to make the graph of the line.
