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
