Answer: See attached and/or read below.

Explanation:

This equation is given to us in slope-intercept form, which makes it easy to graph. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Given:

y = 1/4x - 2

Slope:

1/4

Y-intercept:

-2, or (0, -2)

This means we can start at the coordinate point (0, -1) from our y-intercept, where the line intersects the y-axis. Next, we will count one unit up and four units right using our slope, and plot another coordinate point at (4, -1). Next, we will graph a line between these two points and extending beyond.
