Answer:

See attached image for the graph

Explanation:

Start by finding at least two points on the plane that satisfy the equation, and join them with a line.

Pick good values for "x" that will make the evaluation easy (for example the number "0" and also multiples of "3":

when x = 0 then y = 0/3 - 4 = -4 then the point is (0, -4)

when x = 3 then y = 3/3 -4 = 1 - 4 = -3 then this new point is (3, -3)

when x = 6 then y = 6/3 - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2 then a third point is (6, -2)

We plot these points on the plane, and join them with a line, s shown in the attached image.
