Answer

Three additional points on the line can be: $(0,6)$ $(3,10)$ $(6,14)$

Work Step by Step

If we interpret the slope, we can say that if $m=\frac{4}{3}$, then for every $3$ unitincrease in $x$, $y$ increases by $4$. Using that, we can calculate more points on the line. The starting point is given $(-3,2)$, after that, we have to add the aforementioned changes to the x and y-coordinates. Next point can be: $(-3+3,2+4)=(0,6)$ Now, starting with $(0,6)$ we add the changes again: $(0+3,6+4)=(3,10)$ Now, starting with $(6,-10)$ we add the changes again: $(3+3,10+4)=(6,14)$
