D, because the equation is in slope intercept form; y=mx+b. So, in the equation y= -2+3, you know that "b" is always the y intercept represented on a graph, so 3 is your y coordinate. From there, you go down 2 (-2) and over one to get the next. The since this has a negative slope (-2), you know your line is correct if it's like this \. (Negative slope.) a positive slope would represent a line like this /.
