See a solution process below:

First, calculate two points from the equation and plot them on the graph:

For $x = 0$ $x = 0$ :

$y = (- \frac{3}{4} \cdot 0) - 1$ $y = (-3/4 * 0) - 1$

$y = 0 - 1$ $y = 0 - 1$

$y = - 1$ $y = -1$ or $(0, - 1)$ $(0, -1)$

For $x = 4$ $x = 4$

$y = (- \frac{3}{4} \times 4) - 1$ $y = (-3/4 xx 4) - 1$

$y = - 3 - 1$ $y = -3 - 1$

$y = - 4$ $y = -4$ or $(4, - 4)$ $(4, -4)$

graph{(x^2 + (y+1)^2 - 0.125)((x-4)^2+(y+4)^2-0.125)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Now, draw a line through the two points:

graph{(y + ((3/4)x)+1)(x^2 + (y+1)^2 - 0.125)((x-4)^2+(y+4)^2-0.125)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
