See a solution process below:

First, solve for two points which solve the equation and plot these points:

First Point:

For $x = 0$

$y = (0.9754 * 0) + 4.6396$

$y = 0 + 4.6396$

$y = 4.6396$ or $(0, 4.6396)$

Second Point:

For $x = -2$

$y = (0.9754 * -2) + 4.6396$

$y = -1.9508 + 4.6396$

$y = 2.6888$ or $(-2. 2.6888)$

We can now graph the two points on the coordinate plane:

graph{(x^2+(y-4.6396)^2-0.05)((x+2)^2+(y-2.6888)^2-0.05)=0 [-15, 15, -7.5, 7.5]}

Now, we can draw a straight line through the two points to graph the line:

graph{(y-0.9754x-4.6396)(x^2+(y-4.6396)^2-0.05)((x+2)^2+(y-2.6888)^2-0.05)=0 [-15, 15, -7.5, 7.5]}
