Please see below.

Explanation:

To graph 2x3y=11, we have to convert this into slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form of the equation is y=mx+c, where m is slope and c is the intercept made by line on y axis.

As 2x3y=11, we have 3y=2x+11 or y=23x+113

Hence slope of 2x3y=11 is 23 and intercept made by line on y axis is 113.

So first mark the point (0,113) and then one needs to draw a line with slope 23 from this point. As it is upward sloping, one needs to add 2 units on ordinate and 3 units on abscissa.

So other point could be (3,2+113) or (3,523) and the line should look like

graph{2x-3y=-11 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
