Answer:

(-3, -5), (0, -3), (3, -1), (6, 1)

Explanation:

Write in slope intercept form:

2x - 3y = 9

-3y = -2x + 9

3y = 2x - 9

y = 2/3x - 3

Plug in numbers of x:

y = 2/3(0) - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

(0, -3)

y = 2/3(3) - 3

y = 2 - 3

y = -1

(3, -1)

y = 2/3(-3) - 3

y = -2 - 3

y = -5

(-3, -5)

y = 2/3(6) - 3

y = 4 - 3

y = 1

(6, 1)

Insert the coordinates onto a graph and draw a line to connect them. It should be a straight diagonal line.
