See the explanation.

Explanation:

Graph:

x=y+3

Solve for y to get the slope intercept form: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Subtract y from both sides.

-y+x=3

Subtract x to both sides.

-y=-x+3

Multiply both sides by -1.

y=x-3

Now determine several points on the line by choosing values for x and solving for y.

"Points"

x=-2,y=-5

x=0,y=-3

x=2,y=-1

Plot the points and draw a straight line through the them. graph{y=x-3 [-16.02, 16, -8.01, 8.01]}
