See a solution process below:

We can first, determine two points on the line:

For: #x = 0#

#y = 0 - 6#

#y = -6# or #(0, -6)#

For: #x = 6#

#y = 6 - 6#

#y = 0# or #(6, 0)#

Next, we can plot these two points on the grid:

graph{(x^2+(y+6)^2-0.125)((x-6)^2+y^2-0.125)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Now, we can draw a line through the two points to graph the line for the equation:

graph{(x^2+(y+6)^2-0.125)((x-6)^2+y^2-0.125)(y-x+6)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
