I need to find the x and y intercepts of: -4x + y = -3
----------
x-intercept?
Let y = 0; then x = 3/4
----------------
y-intercept?
Let x = 0; then y = -3
===========================
Plot the two points: (3/4,0) and (0,-3)
and draw a line thru them to see the graph.
----------------------------------------
