You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=(3/5)x-4
Let x=0, then y=-4
Let x=5, then y=-1
Plot these two points and draw a line thru them.
That is your graph.

graph: y=(3/5)x-4
Let x=0 and solve for y.
y=(3/5)(0)-4
y=0-4
y=-4 Plot (0,-4)
:
Let x=5 and solve for y
y=(3/5)(5)-4
y=3-4
y=-1 Plot (5,-1)
Connect the two points and you have a line that looks like:

You can plot more points if your teacher requires it, but you only need two points when graphing a line. If you pick more points, make x numbers that are divisible by 5 and you'll avoid plotting fractions.
Happy Calculating!!!
