if it was x-3y=6 (btw, it's graphing)
would it be -3y=-x+6 or 3y=x-6?

it would be x-3y=6, then -3y=-x+6, then finally divide by a negative 3 and it would be y=1/3x-2. I'm positive that is correct. This math is sooo easy for me.

x -3y = 6
1. Subtract x from both sides
-x +x -3y = -x + 6
2. Simplify
-3y = 6 - x
3. Divide both sides by -3
(-3y)/-3 = (6-x)/-3
y = (6 - x)/-3
4. simplify, Distribute the negative sign.
y = (x - 6)/3

-3y=-x+6

Both are equivalent. You get one from the other by multiplying each side by -1. Both simplify to: y = x/3 -2.

All your answers are correct. Moreover, it could be as follows as well:
x = 6 + 3y
y = 1/3x - 2

-3y=6-x
x intercept y
(0,-2) --- coordinates for x and y axis
(6,0) ---- coordinates for x and y axis
:p thats very easy :p
