#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#"one way is to find the intercepts, that is where"#
#"the graph crosses the x and y axes"#

#• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"#

#• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"#

#x=0to0-4y=-18rArry=9/2larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"#

#y=0to3x-0=-18rArrx=-6larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"#

#"plot the points "(0,9/2)" and "(-6,0)#
#"and draw a straight line through them"#
graph{(y-3/4x-9/2)((x-0)^2+(y-9/2)^2-0.04)((x+6)^2+(y-0)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
