Are you referring to the equation:
y = -4x ?
The standard equation of a straight line is:
y = mx + c
where
m is the gradient
c is the y-intercept
In your example, therefore,
The gradient, m = -4
and the y-intercept, c = 0.
If you plot the graph of y = -4x,
you will get something that looks like "\" and it will cut right through the origin (0,0) where the x and the y axes intersect.

the straight line y= -4x has a slope of -4 and a y-intercept through the origin..
so it has the points (0,0),(1,-4),(2,-8).....and so on...

First, our question doesn't make sense.
Second, you ought to do your own homework.
