An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. A solid upward line with arrows at both ends is plotted on the graph. The line passes through the plotted points left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 1 comma 5 right parenthesis.

To graph the equation \( y = 2x - 3 \), we can identify key points on the line by substituting values for \( x \).

  1. Finding Points:

    • When \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 2(0) - 3 = -3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (0, -3) \]
    • When \( x = 1 \): \[ y = 2(1) - 3 = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (1, -1) \]
    • When \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 2(2) - 3 = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, 1) \]
  2. Plotting Points: You would plot the points \( (0, -3) \), \( (1, -1) \), and \( (2, 1) \) on the coordinate plane.

  3. Drawing the Line: After plotting the points, draw a straight line through them, extending the line with arrows on both ends.

Based on the provided choices, the only option that correctly reflects the required points and the correct direction is:

  • The option with the coordinates \( (0, -3) \) and \( (1, -1) \).

The line you need to graph should look like it passes through \( (0, -3) \) and \( (1, -1) \) and is moving upwards, confirming that it follows the equation \( y = 2x - 3 \).

Thus, the correct image representation would correspond to a line passing through the points \( (0, -3) \) and \( (1, -1) \).
