It is easiest to graph any line in the form y=mx+b. So we will first isolate for y to get it into this form:

Which can also be written as :

So our b value (which is the y intercept is -1 so we know one point on the line.
The m value (slope) is 2/3. Since slope is rise/run, we must go up 2 and over 3 and get another point... Since it is a line, we take our ruler and connect these points and extend the line in both directions. The line should end up looking like this:

HOpefully this helps. Let me know if you are still unsure:)
