See a solution process below:

First, solve for two points which solve the equation and plot these points:

First Point: For #x = 0#

#g(0) = 6 * 0#

#g(0) = 0# or #(0, 0)#

Second Point: For #x = 1#

#g(1) = 6 * 1#

#g(1) = 6# or #(1, 6)#

We can next graph the two points on the coordinate plane:

graph{(x^2+y^2-0.075)((x-1)^2+(y-6)^2-0.075)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

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

graph{(x^2+y^2-0.075)((x-1)^2+(y-6)^2-0.075)(y-6x)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
