Since 1 is your initial value you plot a point at (0,1) just like you did , but since your slope (rise/run) is 3, you will go up 3 and over 1, so you will need to graph the point (1,4) instead of (1,-2). Your line will be going up , since a graph is read left to right, you have a positive slope so your line will go up. Hope I helped !
