x - 4y = 8 -4y=-x+8 4y=x-8 y= 1/4x - 2 Remember y=mx+b? b is the y intercept for when x=0. Slope=1/4 (rise over run) Start at 0,-2 then move up one, right four, OR down one, left four. It is a straight line. Thank you jbrecken for the oversight in my signs.

The intercept of the x-axis, is the point where y is zero, so plug zero in for y: x - 4(0) = 8 x - 0 = 8 x = 8 So, one point is (8,0) The intercept of the y-axis is the point where x is zero, so plug zero in for x: 0 -4y = 8 -4y = 8 -4y/(-4) = 8/(-4) y = -2 The other point is (0,-2) Plot those two points, then draw a line between them.
