Question
**Graphing Linear Equations using Intercepts**

**Plot the intercepts to graph the equation.**

Equation: 
\[ x + 4y = -4 \]

**Instructions:**
1. Use the graphing tool provided to plot the equation.
2. Utilize the intercepts when drawing the line. If there is only one intercept, use it and another point to draw the line.

**Graphing Tool:**
- Click on the provided tool to enlarge the graph for easier plotting.

**Interactive Instructions:**
- Click the graph.
- Choose a tool from the palette and follow the instructions to create your graph.

**Graph Explanation:**
- The coordinate plane on the right side consists of the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), both ranging from -10 to 10.
- Each axis is marked at intervals of 1 unit.

**Actions:**
- After plotting, you can either clear all plotted points or check your answer by using the buttons provided below the graph area.

Remember, the intercepts are where the line crosses the x-axis and the y-axis. These points can be found by setting \(y\) to 0 and solving for \(x\) (x-intercept) and setting \(x\) to 0 and solving for \(y\) (y-intercept).

**Note:**
Ensure all parts are showing on your end to make the plotting experience seamless.
