Its in Point-Slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
You need it in Slope-Intercept form.
y = mx + b
---------------------------------------
Solve for y.
y - 3 = -3/4(x + 4)
Distribute.
y - 3 = -3/4x - 3
Add 3.
y = -3/4x + 0
There is your equation^.
-----------------------------------------
Now you need to graph it.
y = mx + b
m is slope
b is y-intercept
-3/4 is slope
0 is y-intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. So, plot a point on (0, 0).

To find another point, remember that:\[slope= \frac{ rise }{ run }\]
So from point (0, 0) you're going to go down 3 spaces. Then move across 4 spaces. This is your second point.
