Hi
graphing the equation: 
y = -1/4x - 3
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
  where (-1/4) is the slope and -3 the y-intercept.  
Pt(0,-3) the y-intercept
 slope is(-1/4): as y increases/decreases by 1, x increases/decreases by 4 in opposite direction
that is:  (0,-3)  AND (4,-4) (-4,-2) on the line.
