see explanation below

Explanation:

x + 4y = -8

check x-intercept when y =0
x + 4(0) = -8
x = -8
therefore, x- intercept at (-8,0)

check y-intercept, when x =0
0 + 4y = -8
4y = -8
y = -8/4 = -2
therefore, y- intercept at (0, -2)

mark these 2 points of intercept and make a straight line through these 2 points.
