The line equation is 4x - y = 5.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

y = 4x - 5.

Compare the equation with slope - intercept form y = mx + b.

slope = 4 and y - intercept is - 5.

y - intercept is - 5, so the line crosses the y - axis at (0, - 5).

Using slope find the next point.

Slope = rise/run = 4/1

Start at point (0, - 5), move 4 units up and 1 unit right, then plot the point (1, - 1).

Draw a line through these points.
