Answer: Plot a straight line through (0,-3) and (3,0)

Diagram is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x = 0 and solve for y.

x - y = 3

0 - y = 3

-y = 3

y = -3

We have x = 0 lead to y = -3. Therefore, the point (x, y) = (0, -3) is on the line. It is the y-intercept.

Let's plug in y = 0 and solve for x.

x - y = 3

x - 0 = 3

x = 3

Therefore, the point (3, 0) is also on the line. This is the x-intercept.

The straight line goes through (0, -3) and (3, 0)

Check out the graph below. I used GeoGebra to make it, but Desmos is another option you can use.
