This is a very basic question, and its funny that I'm able to solve more advanced problems like this, but I was presented with a basic one and got stumped. I have the equation
y=-3/4x+6
In R^2, this is a line. I want to find a parametrization of this line. I guess the problem here is I never really understood the concept of parametrization. I'm just a robot-I follow the steps the book tells me, but I really dont understand the intuition behind it. What is the point of parametrization (in laymen's terms, which is hard to find anywhere), and how would I do it for this equation?
