Hi,

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

find the slope and y intercept of the line and use the slope and y intercept to sketch a graph of the line.

y = (5/3)x - 4  m = 5/3 and y-intercept is (0,-4)

Note: as y increases by 5, x increases by 3.  Ex. (3,1) on this Line
