You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because this is in slope intercept form, I assume you need to graph it using the slope intercept method since you didn't specify.
highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, m=slope, and (0,b)=y-intercept
y=highlight%283%2F4%29x%2B2 your slope, m=3/4
y=%283%2F4%29x%2Bhighlight%282%29 your y-intercept is, (0,b)=(0,2)
Plot (0,2) (it's at 2 on the y-axis)
From that point use your slope=rise/run, rise 3 units up, and run 4 units right. Plot your second point (you should be at (4,5)).
Connect the points and you have a line like this one:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F4%29x%2B2%29
Happy Calculating!!!
