You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation for a line is: y = mx + b
If you have the slope and one point, then you would plug them in the appropriate place in the equation and solve for b..
Once you had b...the you would know m and know b...from there you just pick any x and solve for y...by doing this you can aquire 3 more points to plot
