Please see below.

Explanation:

To graph #2x-3y=-11#, we have to convert this into slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form of the equation is #y=mx+c#, where #m# is slope and #c# is the intercept made by line on #y# axis.

As #2x-3y=-11#, we have #3y=2x+11# or #y=2/3x+11/3#

Hence slope of #2x-3y=-11# is #2/3# and intercept made by line on #y# axis is #11/3#.

So first mark the point #(0,11/3)# and then one needs to draw a line with slope #2/3# from this point. As it is upward sloping, one needs to add #2# units on ordinate and #3# units on abscissa.

So other point could be #(3,2+11/3)# or #(3,5 2/3)# and the line should look like

graph{2x-3y=-11 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
