You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given equation is already in the slope intercept form, so two things you know immediately, point (0,2) is on the graph and slope is -3. Plot the point, find any other point or more based on the slope, and draw the line through the points.

Plug in x = 0 to get y = 2. This shows (0,2) is one point on the graph. It's the y intercept.
Plug in x = 1 to get y = -1. It leads to the point (1,-1)
Plot the two points (0,2) and (1,-1) on the xy grid. Draw a straight line through them.
Another approach would be to use the y = mx+b template.
m = -3 = -3/1 = slope
b = 2 = y intercept
Start at the y intercept's location (0,2).
Then move down 3 and right 1 to arrive at (1,-1).
This "down 3, right 1" pattern is due to the slope.
slope = rise/run = -3/1
rise = -3 = go down 3
run = 1 = go right 1
