graph a liner equation and how to determine it's slope.
y=(3/4)x-4.
------------
You are given the equation in the form y=mx+b where m=3/4
m=3/4 is the slope
-------------
To graph it you need two points:
If x=0, y=-4
If x=4 y=(3/4)(4)-4 = -3
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them
This is the graph you want.
