2x - 6y = 18

We need two points to graph a line. Replacing with x = 0 into the equation, we get:

2(0) - 6y = 18

-6y = 18

y = 18/(-6)

y = -3

Then, the point (0, -3) lies on the line.

Replacing x = 6, we get:

2(6) - 6y = 18

12 - 6y = 18

-6y = 18 - 12

-6y = 6

y = 6/(-6)

y = -1

Then, the point (6, -1) lies on the line.

So, to graph the equation of this line, we need to locate these two points and draw the line that passes through them, as follows:
