Substitute 0 for x to find the y-coordinate of the y-intercept:
3x - 4y = -12
3(0) - 4y = -12
-4y = -12

y = 3
So the y-intercept is (0,3)
Plot that point on the y axis:

Now substitute 0 for y to find the x-coordinate of the x-intercept:
3x - 4y = -12
3x - 4(0) = -12
3x = -12

x = -4
So the x-intercept is (-4,0)
Plot that point on the x axis:

Get a ruler and draw the line through those two points:
