4x-3y=-9

The first step is to isolate your y value.

Subtract 4x from both sides to get

-3y=-4x-9

Then, divide your whole equation by -3. This gives you y=4/3+3

To graph, plot (0, 3), or three on your y-axis to get your y-intercept.

For your slope, use the rise/run (go up 4, across 3)

You should have a positive slope.
