The equation is given as point-slope form. The included point is (2,-3) and the slope is 2. Slope means vertical change divided by horizontal change. Plot the point and find other points using the slope, and draw the line through the points.

Whatever you do to one side of
the equation, you have to do to the
other side also
------------------
The goal is to get the on
the left side alone
------------------
Subtract from both sides

-------------------
Now simplify the right side

This is now in the form called
" slope-intercept form " which
makes it easier to plot
------------------------
The slope is and the y-intercept is
Here's the plot:

The slope is how steep the line is and the
y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis
-----------
Hope this helps
