This is the graph:
+graph+%28300%2C300%2C+-6%2C6%2C-6%2C6%2C+%283%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3%29

Now about how to GET the graph, when the problem is written in standard form like this one is, it's easiest to get the two intercepts.

Given 3x-4y=-12
If x =0, then -4y =-12, so y = 3.
If y=0, then 3x = -12, so x = -4.

Plot these two points and connect the dots. That's all there is to it.
