Answer:

I cant draw the graph but treasure is y = 18.

Explanation:

hmmm, so Jane starts at origin (that is 0 on graph) and she goes 3 miles per hour, I'm going to assume the y is hour and x is miles, so her line goes up and the equation for her line is y = 3x. Johnny starts at 6 so still assuming y is hours and x is miles, his line goes up as well, his equation is y = 2x + 6. So if they had to meet somewhere on the graph, it would be at y = 18.
