You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the intercept (0,5).
Plot it.

Now use the slope, m=3%2F4
Slope is change in y over change in x.
So, if I change 4 in x, y will change 3.
So to plot the next point, start at the y-intercept.
Move 4 units in x.
xp=0%2B4=4
Then move 3 units in y.
yp=5%2B3=8
(4,8).
Plot that point.

Finally connect the points with a line that goes through both of them.
