y=+%283%2F5%29x%2B1...to graph this linear function, all you need is take two values for x and calculate y to get coordinates for two points and plot it
x|y
0|1..........y=+%283%2F5%290%2B1=0%2B1=1
5|4..........y=+%283%2F5%295%2B1=3%2A5%2F5%2B1=3%2B1=4
points are; (0,1) and (5,4).....plot them and draw the line through
