Solve
...
solve for y
-2x - y = -3 ==> isolate the y variable
-2x + 3 = y
or better as

...
Graph
...
Plot the intercepts and draw a line through them
y-intercept can be read from the slope-intercept format of y=mx+b as b
so, in the case of y=-2x+3, the y-intercept is 3
plot (0, 3)
x intercept is where y = 0, so set the equation equivalent to 0
0 = -2x + 3
-3 = -2x
x = 3%2F2
plot (3%2F2, 0) or (1.5, 0)
