Answer:

To graph the equation \(y = 3x - 6\), plot the following points on the coordinate plane and connect them with a straight line:

• For \(x = -1\): \((-1, -9)\)
• For \(x = 0\): \((0, -6)\)
• For \(x = 1\): \((1, -3)\)
• For \(x = 2\): \((2, 0)\)
• For \(x = 3\): \((3, 3)\)
• For \(x = 4\): \((4, 6)\)
