It is easiest to put the equation in slope intercept form. y = mx+b
Solve for y.
x=3y
divide each side by 3
y = x/3
Now you can solve for values. Make a table.
x y
0 0
3 1
6 2
Now you can plot the points (0,0), (3,1), and (6,2). It will be a straight line.
You can see what it looks like in the source link below.

Y= X/3 or 1/3 * X. So to graph start with X=0, Y then equals 0. First point (0,0)
then X=3, Y=1, (3,1)
then X=6, Y=2, (6,2)
X=9, Y=3, (9,3)
The pattern, SLOPE, M is = 1/3. Raise over Run! For 1/3, you go up (y-axis) 1 digit and across (x-axis) 3 to graph the next point.
