Graph the linear equation. y = 3x – 4
To graph a line like that, you first need to find the points at which the line intercepts the x and y axes.
The point at which the line touches the y axis is called the y-intercept. This is the point where the value of x will be equal to zero. Given y = 3x -4 and x = 0, what is the value of y?
Since you've got 2 points and a slope, all from the same line, use point-slope form
Well.....to graph, all you need is two points. Easiest points to find are the x and y intercepts where the line touches the x and y axes respectively.
Oh
Its like drawing a line on paper. Mark two points, use a ruler to connect them. Same idea.

Can you tell me what the value of y would be in the above case?
this is me i got blocked
y = 3x - 4 Since x = 0, you have: y = 3(0) - 4 y = 0 - 4 y = -4 So, y-intercept is (0, -4). Similarly, for x intercept, you need to plug in y = 0. y = 3x - 4 0 = 3x - 4 3x = 4 x = 4/3 So, x-intercept is (4/3, 0). Now, you have two points on the graph (0, -4) and (4/3, 0). Connect them.
whats the answer?
You got to graph that line connecting those points.
can you do it?
