The graph of the linear equation y = 2/3x - 1 is a straight line. The slope of the line is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1.
To graph this equation, start by plotting the y-intercept point at (0, -1). Then, use the slope of 2/3 to find another point on the line. Since the slope is rise over run, from the y-intercept point, move up 2 units and to the right 3 units, and plot another point.
Connect the two points with a straight line to complete the graph.
The graph of the equation y = 2/3x - 1 should look like this:
