step 1

get your expression into a standard from that is easy to graph
\(y=mx+b\)

to get
\(3x+2y=-8\)

into this form first minus three x from both sides
after this divide both sides by two

hopefully you got
\(\downarrow \\ \\y={-3 \over 2}x-4\)

step 2 would be to plot the intercepts
the y-intercept is when x=0

plug x=0 into your equation
this will give you a value for y

the intercept will be at the point (0,b)

the x-intercept is when y=0

plug this into your equation and find the x-intercept

(-b/m,0)

plot this point

now get a ruler and make sure the two points are on the line,

continue the line across the graph
label things,

you are done
