see explanation below

Explanation:

x + 4y = -8x+4y=8

check x-xintercept when y =0y=0
x + 4(0) = -8x+4(0)=8
x = -8x=8
therefore, x-x intercept at (-8,0)(8,0)

check y-yintercept, when x =0x=0
0 + 4y = -80+4y=8
4y = -84y=8
y = -8/4 = -2y=84=2
therefore, y-y intercept at (0, -2)(0,2)

mark these 2 points of intercept and make a straight line through these 2 points.
