ANSWER and EXPLANATION

We have the equation:

y = 3x

To be able to graph the equation, we have to first find the values of y for each of the values of x.

When x = -1:

y = 3(-1)

y = -3

When x = 0:

y = 3(0)

y = 0

When x = 1:

y = 3(1)

y = 3

When x = 2:

y = 3(2)

y = 6

When x = 4:

y = 3(4)

y = 12

Now, we graph it:

A line
