See a solution process below:

We can first, determine two points on the line:

For: $x = 0$ $x = 0$

$y = 0 - 6$ $y = 0 - 6$

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

For: $x = 6$ $x = 6$

$y = 6 - 6$ $y = 6 - 6$

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

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]}
