Explanation:

First we need to isolate the y, by dividing -4 on both sides. This will give you y = 1/4x - 5.

Now you can properly graph the equation:

Since -5 is the y-intercept (the point in which the line intercepts the y-axis), we will place our first point at (0,-5) on the graph.

In order to find the next point, we will use the slope of the line and do rise/run. So we will go upwards 1 unit and to the right 4 units.

Hope this helps you :)
