-2x-3y=-7
to find points, first solve for y
-2x%2B7=3y
y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B7%2F3
find points:
if x=2, then y=-%282%2F3%29%2A2%2B7%2F3=>y=-4%2F3%2B7%2F3=>y=3%2F3=1
if x=4, then y=-%282%2F3%29%2A5%2B7%2F3=>y=-10%2F3%2B7%2F3=>y=-3%2F3=-1
if x=0, then y=-%282%2F3%29%2A0%2B7%2F3=>y=7%2F3=>y=2.3
make a table:
x|y
2|1
5|-1
0|2.3
plot points and draw a line through

-3y=2x-7 by adding 2x to both sides
y= (-2x/3)+7/3, by dividing by -1
x=0 y= 7/3
y=0 x= 7/2
(2,1) ;;Third point.
