We have the equation, #x - 2y = 6#

Since this is the equation of a straight line thus obtaining 2 points on the line shall be sufficient.

First put #x=0#
This gives, #y= -3#

Now, put #y = 0#
This gives, #x=6#

Thus points #(0,-3)# and #(6,0)# lie on the line.

Plot the two points and join them with a ruler and you're done.
