This is just like y = 2x-3, which is a straight line. You can make a table of values and graph the points on an xy axis, or you can use the fact that the y intercept is the number term which is -3, and the slope is 2, which means %28rise%29%2F%28run%29+=+2%2F1. See my lesson plans on graphing straight lines, especially with the slope intercept form of the line.

Graph the point (0,-3) by going down on the y axis 3 units. Then with your pencil on this point measure UP 2 units, then RIGHT 1 unit, and put a point. Connect the points with a line, and it should look like this:

graph+%28400%2C400%2C+-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+2x-3%29
