That is just the set $\{(x,y)|~y=2x-2\}$.

But how do I draw it in the complex plane?

The same way you graph it in $R^2$.

$\text{Re}(z)$ is the $x\text{-axis}$ and $\text{Im}(z)$ is the $y\text{-axis}$.

It is a line.

But how do I plot this in Re(z)-2 ?

Can you plot $y=2x-2~?$ If you can that is the same graph as $\text{Im}(z)=2\text{Re}(z)-2$
