Answer:

see the attachment for a graph

Explanation:

When asked to graph an equation like this, you can first recognize that the equation you are given is in "slope-intercept" form:

y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept.

This immediately tells you one point on the graph: the y-intercept at (0, -4).

Another point on the graph can be found by making use of the slope to choose a point that is different from the y-intercept by the rise and run indicated by the slope.

Here, the slope is rise/run = -5/6, which means the line "rises" -5 units for each "run" of 6 units. Alternatively, it rises 5 units for a run of -6 units. That is the second point we have plotted on the graph below. Subtracting 6 from x=0 gives x=-6; adding 5 to y=-4 gives y=1, so our second point is (-6, 1).
