SOLUTION: I need to find the x and y intercepts of: -4x + y = -3 I tried to find the x intercept but I came up with -3 divided by -4 which is .75 but I cannot graph that. So what do I do?

I need to find the x and y intercepts of: -4x + y = -3
----------
x-intercept?
Let y = 0; then x = 3/4
----------------
y-intercept?
Let x = 0; then y = -3
===========================
Plot the two points: (3/4,0) and (0,-3)
and draw a line thru them to see the graph.
