You would have to create a graph with a slope of #1# and a y-intercept of #3#.

Explanation:

To begin with, you must find the slope of the equation #y=x+3# which is #1# ( picture an imaginary #1# in front of #x#).

Then identify the y-intercept which in this case is #3#.

Furthermore, when graphed, this is how the line #y=x+3# would look like:

graph{x+3 [-7.17, 12.83, -2.38, 7.62]}

Slope: measure of the steepness of a line ( the rise over the run)

Y-intercept: point where the line crosses the y-axis
