graph{y=-6+x [-2.75, 17.25, -4.68, 5.32]}

For this, you first solve the equation by starting with moving the x in the equation to the other side

$x - y = 6$ $x-y=6$ ----> $- y = 6 - x$ $-y=6-x$

Then divide the whole equation by negative on to get y by itself

$\frac{- y = 6 - x}{- 1}$ $(-y=6-x)/-1$ ----> $y = - 6 + x$ $y=-6+x$

Now that it is in slope-intercept form pick a number for x and plug it into the equation.

$y = - 6 + 1$ $y=-6+1$ ----> $y = - 5$ $y=-5$

This means that when x is 1 the y value is -5. You can keep doing this to graph the equation
