-----------------------
Solve for "y":
20y = 5x+60
y = (1/4)x + 3
-------
Plot the y-intercept: (0,3)
----
Now, using the slope of 1/4, y increase 1 when x increases 4.

Put your pencil on (0,3),
Move 4 to the right to (4,3)
Then move 1 up to (4,4)
Put a point at (4,4)
Draw a line thru those two points.
That is your graph.
