You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=-3/4X+3 THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE OF -3/4 & A Y INTERCEPT OF (0,3)
TO FIND A SECOND POINT SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X THUS;
0=-3X/4+3
3X/4=3 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY:
3X=3*4
3X=12
X=12/3
X=4 OR (4,0) FOR THE SECOND POINT.
NOW PLOT THESE 2 POINTS & DRAW THE LINE THUS:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+-3x%2F4+%2B3%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = -3x/4 +3).
