Solution
The slope is 3/4 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).
We plot (0, 3), then move down 3 units and to the right 4 units.
An alternate approach would be to move up 3 units and to the left 4 units.

Linear FunctionA function described by an equation of the form f(x) = mx + b is a linear function. Its graph is a straight line with slope m and y-intercept at (0, b).
When m = 0, the function is described by f(x) = b is called a constant function. Its graph is a horizontal line through (0, b).

Graph:
Solution
The slope is 4/3 and the y-intercept is (0, 2).
We plot (0, 2), then move up 4 units and to the right 3 units.
We could also move down 4 units and to the left 3 units.
Then draw the line.

Nonlinear Functions• A function for which the graph is not a
straight line is a nonlinear function.
