The y intercept of 4 means the graph crosses the vertical y axis at 4. More specifically this location is (0,4)
Start at (0,4) and move down 5 units and then move to the right 1 unit. You should arrive at (1,-1). The movement rule of "down 5, over to the right 1" is taken exactly from the slope of -5 = -5/1.
After plotting the two points (0,4) and (1,-1), draw a straight line through them both. Extend this line as far as you can in either direction. The graph is now completed.
<h3>In summary, this line goes through (0,4) and (1,-1)</h3>
Side note: The equation of this line is y = -5x+4. It is in slope intercept form.
