You can choose any x value you want and solve the the corresponding y value. One way is look for x-axis and y-axis intercepts.

If y=0,
then 4x%2B2=3%2A0
4x%2B2=0
2x%2B1=0
2x=-1
x=-1%2F2
Point ( -1/2, 0).

If x=0,
then 4%2A0%2B2=3y
2=3y
y=2%2F3
point (0, 2/3).

Plot the two points and draw the line through them.
