I am assuming the problem requires you to graph this equation in the x-y coordinate plane. As it reads now, it fits the y=mx+b or slope intercept form which means it will be a straight line. m will be the slope and b will be the x-intercept. Since b in this case is 2, that is your x-intercept. So you can start by making a point at (2,0) meaning at the point where x is 2 and y is 0. Since m is 2 in this case we can say that the slope is 2/1 as in rise/run. So, from the point already marked you can count up 2 (rise) and to the right 1 (run). and mark your next point. That should be (3,2). Using this method you can establish several points which the line passes through and draw the line through them.
