the slope is down and to the right, 3 units right and 2 down or 2 up and 3 units to the left. Work from the y-intercept,

Find some other points that are easy to locate
(1)
Find the x-intercept
+y+=+0+
+0+=+%28-2%2F3%29%2Ax+-+2+
+%282%2F3%29%2Ax+=+-2+
+x+=+-3+
( -3,0 )
--------------------
Suppose +x+=+-3%2F2+
+y+=+%28-2%2F3%29%2A%28-3%2F2%29+-+2+
+y+=+1+-+2+
+y+=+-1+
( -3/2, -1 )
------------------------
That should b enough
Here's the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%28-2%2F3%29%2Ax+-+2+%29+
