Easier to have it in the form

y=mx+c

y =x/3 + 14/3

Unfortunately not whole numbers so it won't go perfect through the edges of the boxes

Then you just make some x and y values yourself

Good starting point is 0 for both

ie when x is 0 then y =14/3

when y = 0 then x = -14

Which is off the graph in this case.

But using that idea if you pick an x or y value yourself you should be able to calculate its corresponding value.

You technically only need 2 sets of coordinates as it is a straight line but if you calculate more you can guarantee your line is correct
