Wrong prefix. I think you mean ros-kinetic.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pydot'

rqt_graph depends on qt_dotgraph, which depends on python-pydot. So by the official, formal way of installation like the following, it should be installed.

$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rqt-graph
[sudo] password for n130s: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  python-pydot ros-kinetic-qt-dotgraph
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  python-pydot ros-kinetic-qt-dotgraph ros-kinetic-rqt-graph
0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
Need to get 71.9 kB of archives.
After this operation, 361 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Other than my answer is likely more standard way of resolving dependency, alternative Python interpreters like Anaconda is discouraged in ROS. See the related thread.
