You can put this solution on YOUR website! First of all, please see my THREE Lesson Plans in algebra.com about Graphing, especially the one about graphing the line in Slope Intercept Form.
In this problem, y =-2x+3, it is in the form y=mx+b, so the y intercept is the number term, which is 3, and the slope is the coefficient of x, which is  .
To graph this, locate the y-intercept, by going UP three units on the y-axis, and put the first point. Then, with your pencil on this point, move DOWN 2 units (this is the RISE), and go 1 unit to the RIGHT (this is the RUN), and put the second point. Then connect the points, and it should look like this:
