Question

Hey, do you want the answer or a walk through?

anonymous · Answer

a walk through.

xguardians · Answer

Okay well first, we will discover how to make a line which has a y-intercept of -3. So the equation should look something like this: 

y = mx + b 

y will always be just y.
m = your slope
x = variable
b = the y intercept.

So what do you want to b to be in this?
Hint: it's one of the intercepts.

Is it -3?

Yes, goodjob @kim23 
So what would the equation look like so far?

Alright so now its going to be $$y=mx+(-3)$$
