You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the y-intercept (0,3).
Plot it.

.
Slope is change in y divide by change in x.
m=%28DELTA%2Ay%29%2F%28DELTA%2Ax%29=4%2F3
So if I move 3 units in x, I move 4 units in y.
Start at (0,3).
X: x%5B1%5D%2BDELTA%2Ax=0%2B3=3
Y: y%5B1%5D%2BDELTA%2Ay=3%2B4=7
(3,7) is another point on the line.
Plot it also.
Then connect the points with the line defined by highlight%28y=%284%2F3%29x%2B3%29

Hi,
*Note: the equation is in the slope-intercept form
y = mx = b where m ai sth eslope and b is the y-intercept(value of y where the line crosses the y axix
.
y = (4/3)x + 3
slope = (4/3) positive slope tells us the line slants toward the right
Pt(0,3) is where the line crosses the y axis
.
Slope tells us (3, 7) is also a point of the line (as y increases by 4, x increases by 3)
.
