You can graph  -2x + 3y = -9 by assuming values of x then substitute 

the assumed values to the equation to find y



 Let x = 0

        -2x + 3y = -9

      -2(0) + 3y = -9

              3y = =9

               y = -3



    Plot the point (0, -3)



Let x = 3

        -2x + 3y = -9

        -2(3) + 3y = -9

        -6    + 3y = -9

                3y = -3

                 y = -1



   Plot the second point (3, -1)



Then draw a line passing through the two points.
