is already adjusted in the form ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=88fba1d91d62e6e1fc08a7a678e56dcf.png\")
where a is the constant of variation.
Draw the coordinate plane.
\The slope is equal to the constant of variation, or 3.
\Plot a point at origin and identify the slope 3.
\Use the slope to locate a second point on the line, then draw a line through the points.
