ANSWER
First point = (0, 3)
Second point = (1, -1)
Third point = (2, -5)
Graph:
EXPLANATION
To plot a graph using the slope and the y-intercept, simply apply the following rules:
1. Evaluate the function at x = 0, to determine the y-intercept which was (0,3) from the question
2. Determine the slope by finding the change in y divided by change in x. This was -4 according to the question. Which could also be written as -4/1; that is, rise divided by run
3. Now, from the value (0, 3) we got in step 1, we move down by 4 units and then to the right by 1 unit. This will lead us to the Second point of (1, -1). Also from this point, we move down by 4 units and then to the right by 1 unit to get to the Third point of (2, -5). You may decide to continue this pattern if you want more points.
4. Draw a straight line joining the 3 points together.
