You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The general form is
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+
given: +b=3+
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+3+
+m+ = change in y / change in x
Given points are:
( 4,0 ) and ( 0,3 )
+m+=+%28+0+-+3+%29+%2F+%28+4+-+0+%29+
+m+=+-3%2F4+
+y+=+%28-3%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+3+
+4y+=+-3x+%2B+12+
+3x+%2B+4y+=+12+
--------------------------
check:
( 4,0 )
+3%2A4+%2B+4%2A0+=+12+
+12+=+12+
OK
( 0,3 )
+3%2A0+%2B+4%2A3+=+12+
+12+=+12+
OK
