Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the y-values corresponding to x-values of 0 and 1, then plot those points and draw a line through them.

For x=0, ...

  y = -4·0 -1 = -1 . . . . the point is (0, -1) . . . the y-intercept

For x=1, ...

  y = -4·1 -1 = -5 . . . . the point is (1, -5)

The attached graph shows these points and the line through them.
