Answer:

Explanation:

Solve -3y=-x-6 for y first:

If -3y=-x-6, then dividing all three terms by -3 yields

y = (1/3)x + 2

Let x = {-2, 0, 5} and find the corresponding y values:

If x = -2, then y = {(-2/3) + 2 = 4/3,

If x = 0, then y = 2,

If x = 5, then y = (5/3) + 2 = 11/3

Graph the points (-2, 4/3), (0, 2) and (5, 11/3) and draw a line through them.
