Set y=0 and see that 2x=-2 solves for the x intercept, -1
Set x=0 and see that 3y=-2 solves for y intercept, -2/3
2 points form a line.

How do you graph 2x+3y=-2
---
Solve for "y"::
3y = -2x-2
----
y = (-2/3)x -(2/3)
-----
Let x = 0, then y = -2/3
---
Let x = 3, then y = -2-2/3 = -8/3
===============
Plot (0,-2/3) and (3,-8/3) and draw a line thru them to see the graph::
