Step-by-step explanation: First, notice that this line is in slope intercept or more commonly known as y = mx + b form because y is by itself on one side of the equation.

Our slope or m therefore is the coefficient of the x-term which in this case is 3/4. Our b or y-intercept is the constant term which in this case is -2.

To graph a line given the slope and y-intercept, we will first start with its y-intercept. The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Since our y-intercept is -2, we start by plotting the point that is down 2 units on the y-axis and we call that point A.

From there we take our slope of 3/4 so our rise is 3 and our run is 4 and we end up at point B. Now we can connect the two points and we have our line.
