This is an expression. Equations can be graphed, not expressions. Let's assume that the equation was supposed to be 3x-y-2 = 0
First, re-arrange so that y is isolated: y = 3x-2
Then plug in x values
Ex, x=1, so y=3(1)-2=1
x=2, so y=3(2)-2=4
So you have two points, (1,1) and (2,4)
Plot them both and since this is a linear graph, you can draw a straight line between the two points, continuing throughout the entire graph.

If you mean: y = -3x then the slope is -3 and there is no y intercept
Substitute the point into the equation, eg. if you have point (1,2) and equation y=3x+7 you get 2=3*1+7 =10 2 doesnt equal 10, so (1,2) isn't on the graph y=3x+7
(a) y = -3x + 1
x intercept = (5, 0) y intercept = (0, -2)
