The equation of the line is given in slope-intercept form. The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -1.
An easy way to make a graph is to plot two points. When x=0, y=-1; and when x=1, y=1. Plot these two points and make a straight line going through them (since it's a linear equation) and you have your graph! Here is a picture:

It's a line with slope = 2 (meaning it goes up 2, right 1) and has a y-intercept of -1.
