Y=2/3X-1.

--------------
It's a straight line, so 2 points is sufficient.
Pick a value for x, then find y. That gives you a point (x,y).
Do it again for a 2nd point, then draw a line thru them.
--------------
x = 0 --> y = -1. So a point is (0,-1)

Y = 2%2F3X - 1.
And the book is asking me to graph.
:
It's not hard, choose at least two values for x, and find y, for example:
x = 3
Y = 2%2F3(3) - 1.
y = 2 - 1
y = 1
Plot coordinates x=3,y=1
:
x = -3
Y = 2%2F3(-3) - 1.
Y = -2 - 1
y = -3
Plot coordinates x=-3, y=-3
:
Join these two points with a straight line, should look like this:
+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+%282%2F3%29x-1%29+
