See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, solve the equation for two points and plot the points on the graph:

For y = 3:

3 + 3 = x + 6

6 = x + 6

6 - color(red)(6) = x + 6 - color(red)(6)

0 = x + 0

0 = x

x = 0 or (0, 3)

For x = 3:

y + 3 = 3 + 6

y + 3 = 9

y + 3 - color(red)(3) = 9 - color(red)(3)

y + 0 = 6

y = 6 or (3, 6)

graph{(x^2+(y-3)^2-0.05)((x-3)^2+(y-6)^2-0.05)=0 [-15, 15, -7.5, 7.5]}

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

graph{(y-x-3)(x^2+(y-3)^2-0.05)((x-3)^2+(y-6)^2-0.05)=0 [-15, 15, -7.5, 7.5]}
