One way to do this is find any two distict points on the graph then draw a straight line through them. Since

#f(0)=-1/2(0)+3=3#

and

#f(2)=-1/2(2)+2=2#,

the point #(0,3)# and #(2,2)# are on the graph.
(Note: You can also use intercepts.)

So, by plotting those points and drawing a straight line through them,
