Please see below.

.

The equation of a straight line is:

$y=mx+b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$ -intercept.

Therefore, the equation for this line is:

$y=1/3x-2$

To graph it we can identify two points on the line and connect them together.

$x=0, :. y=-2$ this is the $y$ -intercept given in the problem.

$x=6, :. y=0$ this is the $x$ -intercept

Therefore, the two points are:

$(0,-2) and (6,0)$

Locate them on the coordinate system and connect them together.
