Answer:

(0,-6), (2,0), and (1,-3)

Explanation:

We are given the equation of the line, and are then asked to find points on that line that correspond to values of x and y (x,y). We can either graph the line and look for the points, or we can solve the equation using the given value of x or y, to find the other value of y or x. Let's do both.

Graph

See the attached graph. The line is drawn and then the three points are located using the provided value of x or y.

We find:

(0,-6)

(2,0), and

(1,-3)

Solve

Fun, but we could also put the one given value in the equation and then solve for the other:

y = 3x - 6

----------

1. (0,__)

y = 3x - 6

y = 3*(0) - 6

y = -6

The point is (0,-6)

2. (__,0)

y = 3x - 6

0 = 3x - 6

-3x = -5

x = 2

The point is (2,0).

3. (1,__)

y = 3x - 6

y=3*(1)-6

y= -3

The point is (1,-3)
