-4x-16y=16 graphing the linear equation and plotting the intercepts

Question

I just need to know how to solve it step by step and graphing it

Answer 1

There is nothing to solve since you have two variables and are only trying to graph a line.

First, divide the entire equation by -4.

x + 4y = -4      To find the intercepts, let x = 0 and solve for y; then let y = 0 and solve for x.

0 + 4y = -4

y = -1     (0,-1)

x + 0 = -4

x = -4    (-4,0)
