First start by solving for y:
y-2=x-3
y=x-1

Now pick a couple of values for x. Let's start with x = 1. If x = 1 then y=1-1=0, so one of the points on the line is (1, 0).

Let's try x = 2. If x = 2, then y=2-1=1, so the point (2, 1) is on the line.

Actually, two points is all you need to create a graph of a straight line.

You plot the two points and then construct a line through them.

Here's what it looks like:
