Explanation:
When this line crosses the y-axis the corresponding x-coordinate at this point will be zero. Substituting x = 0 into the equation of the line will give the value of the y-coordinate.
⇒y=(0.25×0)−1=0−1=−1
⇒(0,−1) is point on the y-axis Similarly when the line crosses the x-axis the corresponding y-coordinate at this point will be zero. Substituting y = 0 into the equation gives the value of the x-coordinate.
⇒0.25x−1=0⇒0.25x=1
⇒x=10.25=4⇒(4,0) is point on the x-axis
Plot (0,-1),(4,0) on square paper and draw a straight line through them.
