Please see below.

Explanation:

First find the xx-intercept by putting y=0y=0 i.e. 4x=204x=20 or x=5x=5, which gives us point (5,0)(5,0)

then find yy-intercept by putting x=0x=0 i.e. -3y=203y=20 or y=-20/3=-6 2/3y=203=623, giving us another point (0,-6 2/3)(0,623).

Joining two points gives us the graph of 4x-3y=204x3y=20, as shown below

graph{(4x-3y-20)(x^2+(y+20/3)^2-0.03)((x-5)^2+y^2-0.03)=0 [-8.33, 11.67, -7.72, 2.28]}
