graph: 4y-3x=12
1st: Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
4y = 3x-12
y = (3/4)x - 3
-----------------
2nd: Generate and plot two points:
Let x = 0, then y = 3
Let x = 4, then y = 0
3rd: Plot the points (0,3) and (4,0)
4th: Draw a line thru the two points.

4y=3x+12
:
y=(3/4)x+3
:
slope is 3/4, y intercept is 3
:
make a table for any given value of x find y and then plot those point and you will end up with this line
