First, know the graph of y=x%5E3. Typical reference cubic function . Your example function is just 2 units shifted downward.

y=x%5E3 graph:
graph%28300%2C300%2C-6%2C6%2C-6%2C6%2Cx%5E3%29

y=x%5E3-2 graph:
graph%28300%2C300%2C-6%2C6%2C-6%2C6%2Cx%5E3-2%29

In the regions where y is negative, reflect the curve about the x-axis.
