y=mx+b
b= y int
b=-4
(0,-4)
----------
slope m=-1/2
so from (0,-4)
go two right and one down and so on.
(2,-5)
(4,-6)

.....you have here a linear equation and the graph will be a line..to graph a line you need two points that lie on a line because a line is defined by two points
your equation is also written in form where is a and is
so, here is and that is one point; (0,-4)
now you can find second point: if you take you will find

.....so, the second point is
now you can plot a line:
