#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#y=3/4x-4" is in this form"#

#"with slope "=3/4" and y-intercept "=-4#

#"Since "m>0" line slopes upwards from left to right"#

#"from "(0,-4)" go 3 up and 4 right "to(4,-1)#

#"Plot the points "(0,-4)" and "(4,-1)#

#"Draw a straight line through them for graph"#
graph{(y-3/4x+4)((x-0)^2+(y+4)^2-0.04)((x-4)^2+(y+1)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
