Response Details:
your equation is in the standard y=mx+b format. M is the slope of your line, and b is the y intercept. Your graph will cross the y axis at +3 and will have a negative slope of 1, so move one pt down and one pt to the right. easier way, pick a set of y coordinates 0,1,2,3,4, or whatever pts you want, and plug those values in for y and solve for x. then simply graph your coorisponding pts.
