Question
**Graphing the Line \(3y - 1x = -6\)**

This image demonstrates how to graph the linear equation \(3y - 1x = -6\) on a coordinate plane.

**Equation Breakdown:**

1. **Rearrange the equation:** 
   - Start by solving for \(y\): 
   - \(3y = x - 6\)
   - \(y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2\)

2. **Identify the slope and y-intercept:**
   - The equation \(y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2\) is in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\).
   - Slope \(m = \frac{1}{3}\)
   - Y-intercept \(b = -2\)

**Graph Details:**

- **Axes:**
  - The x-axis and y-axis are marked from -5 to 5.

- **Slope:**
  - A slope of \(\frac{1}{3}\) indicates that for each unit increase in \(x\), \(y\) increases by \(\frac{1}{3}\).

- **Y-Intercept:**
  - The line crosses the y-axis at \(y = -2\).

**Plotting Points for the Line:**

1. **Start at the y-intercept (0, -2):**
   - This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

2. **Use the slope to find a second point:**
   - From (0, -2), move right by 3 units and up by 1 unit to reach the point (3, -1).

3. **Draw the line:**
   - Connect these points with a straight line, extending it in both directions through the grid.

This graph provides a visual representation of the linear relationship defined by the equation \(3y - 1x = -6\), showing a positive slope and alignment with the calculated y-intercept.
