This equation of a line is in slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
(0,b) is the y-intercept
m=slope=rise/run
Plot the y-intercept, from there you rise vertically, then run horizontally and plot a second point. Connect the dots and you have a line.
y=%283%2F4%29x%2B2
y intercept=(0,2) slope=m=3/4
Plot (0,2) from that point go up (rise) 3 units and right (run)4 units and plot another point at (4,5), connect the dots and you have a line that looks like:
