Find the coordinates of two points on the given line, and then use those coordinates to find the slope of the line.
3y=4x


Step 1. Find one point by letting x=0, then y=0. So one point is (0,0)

Step 2. Let x=3, then 3y=4*3=12 or y=4 after dividing by 3 to both sides of the equation. So the other point is (3, 4).

Step 3. Use the two points (0,0) and (3,4) to plot the line as shown below:

graph%28400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C10%2C+-10%2C10%2C+4x%2F3%29

Step 4. ANSWER: The slope is given as m=%284-0%29%2F%283-0%29=4%2F3

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
