Step by step??
The equation given is in the format that yieds a line.
For me, the easy ways to plot a line are:
1) fine 2 points and plot them, then draw the line that connects them
It is usually easy to find the point where x = 0 (2*x + y = 3) --> y=3 (0,3)
Similarly, it is easy to find the point where y = 0 (2x +0 = 3) --> x = 3/2 (1.5,0)
Plot those two and draw the line
2) put the line in the point slope format if it is easy to do.
y = mx+b . For this line, y = -2x+3
Then plot the y intercept (0,3) and use the slope to find the next point (down 2, right 1)
