The graph shows the linear equation:

$y = \frac{3}{4}x + 3$

Key components:

1. Slope ($\frac{3}{4}$): This indicates the rate of change of the line. For every increase of 4 units in $x$, $y$ increases by 3 units. This is why the line is rising (positive slope).
2. Y-intercept (3): The line crosses the y-axis at $y = 3$.
3. Positive slope: As indicated in the graph by the word "positive," this means the line is sloping upwards as you move from left to right.

To verify:

• The point where $x = 0$ is at $y = 3$, which matches the y-intercept.
• Following the slope $\frac{3}{4}$, moving 4 units right (in the $x$-direction), you go 3 units up in $y$-direction, confirming the slope.

Would you like a detailed breakdown of how to find the slope or solve similar equations?

Here are 5 questions to explore further:

1. How do you calculate the slope between two points on a line?
2. What happens to the graph if you change the slope to a negative number?
3. How do you determine the x-intercept from a linear equation?
4. Can you graph a line given only two points?
5. How do parallel and perpendicular lines relate to their slopes?

Tip: The slope is often remembered as "rise over run," where rise corresponds to the change in $y$ and run corresponds to the change in $x$.
