1. The problem states we need to graph a line that passes through the point $(-4,0)$ and has a slope of $\frac{3}{5}$.
2. Recall the slope-intercept form of a line is given by $$y = mx + b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. We know $m = \frac{3}{5}$ and the line passes through $(-4, 0)$, so we substitute to find $b$:
$$0 = \frac{3}{5} \times (-4) + b$$
$$0 = -\frac{12}{5} + b$$
$$b = \frac{12}{5}$$
4. Therefore, the equation of the line is:
$$y = \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{12}{5}$$
5. This line will cross the y-axis at $y = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4$ and rise 3 units for every 5 units it moves right.
6. To plot the line, mark the point $(-4, 0)$, then move right 5 units to $x = 1$ and up 3 units to $y = 3.6$.
7. Connect these points to form the line on the graph.
Final answer: $$y = \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{12}{5}$$
