In Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions: plot the intercept (if it is the X intercept it is usually plotted on the horizontal axis; the Y intercept is usually plotted on the vertical axis). From the intercept plot the slope (that is the rise Y increase [up] divided by the X increase [to the right]).
Example: Y intercept -4; slope +1,5
Plot the point (0;-4) [four units below the origin]
from there go 1,5 units up and 1 unit right to (1;2,5) plot a point there
Connect the points and extend the line
Note you might get better accuracy if you spread your points out, in the example you should make sure the line extension goes through the point (10;11) [fifteen units up and ten units over from the intercept]

Draw the axes. Plot the two intercepts. Draw a line connecting the two points
3x+4y=-4 can be graphed on a graphing calculator or by changing the form of the equation from standard form to slope intercept form. Rearrange the equation 4y=-3x-4 divide by 4 y=(-3/4)x-1 Now, you can simply graph the equation using the y intercept and the slope of the equation. A good point to start with is (0,-1) you know this point is the y intercept because of the standard y intercept equation y= mx+b where b is the y intercept and m is the slope. From the y intercept of (0,-1) you can then graph using the slope which is the change of y over change in x. So you would move up 3 and to the left 4 since the slope is negative. You can also move down three and to the right 4. Then continue, this process until you have the equation graphed. It should be a straight line.
Normally on the Cartesian plane using as for example the straight line equation y = mx+c whereas m is the gradient or slope and c is the y intercept.
The graph showed the results from his experiment. You can graph the data points to see what type of curve your equation defines.
If you mean points of (3, 4) and (5, 8) then the slope is 2 and the equation is y=2x-2
