Explanation:

By adding 4x on both sides of the equation, we obtain y=4x. We can plot point in the xy-plane by choosing values of x.

For example, let's choose x=-2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 for simplicity.
When:
x=-2, y=4(-2)=-8, so the point is (-2,-8).
x=-1, y=4(-1)=-4, so the point is (-1,-4).
x=0, y=4(0)=0, so the point is (0,0).
x=1, y=4(1)=4, so the point is (1,4).
x=2, y=4(2)=8, so the point is (2,8).

The graph should look something like this after you plot the points and connect the points from above.
graph{y=4x [-5, 5, -10, 10]}
