4X-3Y=-9
-3Y=-4X-9
Y=-4X/-3-9/-3
Y=4X/3+3 ANSWER.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+4x%2F3+%2B3%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 4x/3 +3).
----------------------------------------------------------------
ONE POINT ON THIS LINE IS THE Y INTERCEPT(0,3)
THE X INTERCEPT CAN BE FOUND BY SETTING Y=0 & SOLVING THE LINE EQUATION THUS:
0=4X/3+3
4X/3=-3 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY:
4X=-9
X=-9/4 SO ANOTHER POINT IS (-9/4,0).
PLOT THE TWO POINTS AND DRAW A LINE THROUGH THEM.
