Which method should I use to graph the line y= -3/4x + 7?

The equation you gave, y = -3/4x + 7, is in slope-intercept form. If you want to graph the equation, start taking a few x-points from both the left and right (negative and positive) sides of the graph, and plug them into the equation to determine their y counterparts. For example, take -4, 0, and 4, just to get a general feel for the graph’s curve. Plug these numbers into the equation: y = -3/4(-4) + 7 y = 10 y = -3/4(0) + 7 y = 7 y = -3/4(4) + 7 y = 4 Now, graph these points [(-4, 10); (0, 7); and (4, 4)] and trace a line to connect them. Hope that helps.
