+y+=+%28+3%2F4%29%2Ax+-+1%2F2+
The slope is +3%2F4+
The y-intercept is +-1%2F2+
Here is the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+%28+3%2F4+%29%2Ax+-+1%2F2+%29+

y=%283%2F4%29x-1%2F2-> linear function, graph is a line
a line is defined by two points, so find two points
easiest way is to find x and y intercepts
x|y
0|-1%2F2->y=%283%2F4%290-1%2F2->y=-1%2F2
2%2F3|0->0=%283%2F4%29x-1%2F2->%283%2F4%29x=1%2F2->x=%281%2F2%29%2F%283%2F4%29=2%2F3
plot these points and draw a line through
