Please see below.

Explanation:

.

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.
