The given equation is,


(1)/(4)x+2y=2

It can be rewritten in the form of y=mx+c, where c is the y intercept.

Hence,


\begin{gathered} 2y=-(1)/(4)x+2 \\ y=(-1)/(4*2)x+(2)/(2) \\ y=(-1)/(8)x+1 \end{gathered}

Put different values for x and find value of y.

When x=0, y=1.

When x=1,


y=(-1)/(8)+1=(7)/(8)

The graph is,
