Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

The equation is given in "slope-intercept" form.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

__

For graphing, it is usually convenient to start with the y-intercept. The value of 'b' in your equation is +1, so the graph will go through the point y=1 on the y-axis. That point's coordinates are (0, 1).

The value of m represents the slope, or "rise"/"run" of the line. A slope of -2/3 means the line "rises" -2 units for each "run" of 3 units to the right. Then another point on the graph will be 3 units to the right of the y-axis, and 2 units down from y = 1. That point is (3, -1).

The line is drawn through these points you found on the graph.
