It's a straight line.
It passes thru (0,4) and it increases 7 units of y for each 4 units of x.

and look at it.

PS 7x/4 or (7/4)x would be less ambiguous.

the 7/4 is the slope
4 is the y intercept (0,4)
Start graph at (0,4), then go right 4 and up 7 for second point, and so on.
In the 7/4, the 4 is the x axis and the 7 is the y axis
The y axis is always on the top.

Here's the graph:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%287%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+4%29+
It has a positive slope equal to 7%2F4
and a y-intercept = 4
