Question 758021: Graph the linear equation by solving for y first. This is what I started but I cannot figure out the next step.
x + 4y= -4
4y = x-4
y= 1/4x -4/4
y= 1/4x -1
y= 1/4(0)-1= -1
The first plot is (0,-1)for the solution y= 1/4x -1
This is where I am stuck

Graph the linear equation by solving for y first. This is what I started but I cannot figure out the next step.
x + 4y= -4
4y = x-4
y= 1/4x -4/4
y= 1/4x -1
y= 1/4(0)-1= -1
The first plot is (0,-1)for the solution y= 1/4x -1
This is where I am stuck
============
y = (1/4)x - 1
Pick another value for x and find y.
If you pick x = a multiple of 4, you won't have to do fractions.
