Question

Solve 4^3x=8 by graphing

Answer 1

Y = mx + b 

mx is the slope, with m being the actual slope and x being there to signify that that is the slope. b is the y-intercept. 
-- 
y = 4/3x + 8 

In this case, 8 is the y-intercept. Plot a point at (0,8). 

4/3 is the slope. After you plotted the y-intercept, go up 4 spaces, then go to the right 3 spaces. 

Then draw a line connecting the dots.
