The slope - intercept form of line equation is y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y - intercept.

The equation of line is y - 3x = 6 →  y = 3x + 6.

Compare the equation y = 3x + 6 with slope - intercept form y = mx + b.

Slope(m) = 3 and y - intercept(b) = 6.

Draw a coordinate plane.

Plot the point that corresponds to the y - intercept, (0, 6).

Using slope find the next point.

Slope = rise/run = 3/1

Start at point (0, 6), move 3 units up and 1 unit right, then plot the point (9, 1).

Draw a line through the points.
