Explanation:

Given -
2x - 3y = 12

It is a linear equation. It gives a straight line curve.
We need minimum two points to fix this curve.

At x = 0 ; 2(0) - 3y = 12

y= #12/(-3)# = - 4

(0, -4) is one point.

At y = 0 ; 2x - 3(0) = 12

2x = 12
x = #12/2# = 6

(6, 0) is another point.

Plot these two points. Join them with a straight line. You got the curve.
