y intercept at $y = 4$ $y=4$
x intercept at $x = 1$ $x=1$

Explanation:

This is an equation of a straight line $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$

$Determine the x intercept$ $color(blue)("Determine the x intercept")$

The graph crosses the x axis at y=0

$y + 4 x = 4 \to 0 + 4 x = 4$ $color(brown)(y+4x=4)color(blue)(->0+4x=4)$

Thus $x_{intercept} = 1$ $color(green)(x_("intercept")=1)$

$Determine the y intercept$ $color(blue)("Determine the y intercept")$

The graph crosses the y axis at x=0

$y + 4 x = 4 \to y + 4 (0) = 4$ $color(brown)(y+4x=4)color(blue)(->y+4(0)=4)$

Thus $y_{intercept} = 4$ $color(green)(y_("intercept")=4)$
