After plotting these points, we can connect them with a straight line to complete the graph. The line should have a negative slope and pass through the points (-4, -1) and (4, -3).
The graph of the linear equation y = -¼x - 2 should look like this:
The line should be sloping downwards as x increases, indicating a negative slope of -¼. The y-intercept is -2, which means the line crosses the y-axis at (0, -2).
