The standard equation of a line is given by the equation;


\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ m\colon\text{slope} \\ c\colon\text{intercept on y-axis} \end{gathered}

With the given intercept and slope, the equation of the line will take the form;


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

Having gotten the required equation of the line, we will then represent it on a graph, as required.

Hence, the graph of the line is shown below:
