Answer

Graph: .

Work Step by Step

Comparing to $y=mx+b,$ the y-intercept is $2$, the slope is $m=\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\quad=\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}$. To obtain a second point, starting with $(0,2)$, change x by $3$, y by $1\quad\rightarrow\quad(3,3)$. Draw a line through the two points.
