Solve for y by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
-2%2F3+%2B+1%2F3y+=+x
-2+%2B+y+=+3x
y+=+3x+%2B+2

This is a straight line with y intercept 2, and slope 3 which means %28rise%29%2F%28run%29+=+3%2F1

To graph this go UP 2 and put a point on the y-axis. Then from this point, go UP 3 more units, and go to the RIGHT 1 unit, and put another point. Then connect the points. It should look like this:
