The general rule for a linear equation is y=mx+c where m is the slope or gradient... therefore the slope is 3.

Now we need to get 2 points on the line.

You can easily get the y-int by substituting x=0 into the equation... therefore the y-int is 11... you have one point on the line: (0,11)

Now that you have one point and we know the gradient or slope which is 3, go from the point you have found (0,11) and go up 3 and across 1 to find a second point... then simply rule a line in between the two points.
