Refer Explanation

Given -

$x - y = 3$ $x-y=3$

It can be graphed by finding x and y intercepts.

x intercept

At $y = 0$ $y=0$

$x - 0 = 3$ $x-0=3$
$x = 3$ $x=3$

$(3, 0)$ $(3, 0)$ is a point along the x-axis.

y intercept

At $x = 0$ $x=0$

$0 - y = 3$ $0-y=3$
$y = - 3$ $y=-3$
$0, - 3$ $0, -3$ is a point along the y-axis

Plot these two points. Join them with a straight line.
You have graphed.
