1. **State the problem:** Find the points where the graph of the equation $$4x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 4y + 4 = 0$$ has a horizontal tangent line.
2. **Recall the formula:** A horizontal tangent line occurs where the derivative $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$.
3. **Implicit differentiation:** Differentiate both sides with respect to $$x$$:
$$\frac{d}{dx}(4x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) - \frac{d}{dx}(8x) + \frac{d}{dx}(4y) + \frac{d}{dx}(4) = 0$$
This gives:
$$8x + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} - 8 + 4 \frac{dy}{dx} + 0 = 0$$
4. **Group terms with $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$:**
$$2y \frac{dy}{dx} + 4 \frac{dy}{dx} = 8 - 8x$$
5. **Factor out $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx}(2y + 4) = 8 - 8x$$
6. **Solve for $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{8 - 8x}{2y + 4}$$
7. **Set $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$ for horizontal tangent:**
$$\frac{8 - 8x}{2y + 4} = 0 \implies 8 - 8x = 0 \implies x = 1$$
8. **Find corresponding $$y$$ values:** Substitute $$x=1$$ into original equation:
$$4(1)^2 + y^2 - 8(1) + 4y + 4 = 0$$
$$4 + y^2 - 8 + 4y + 4 = 0$$
$$y^2 + 4y = 0$$
9. **Solve quadratic:**
$$y(y + 4) = 0 \implies y = 0 \text{ or } y = -4$$
10. **Final answer:** The points with horizontal tangent lines are $$\boxed{(1,0)}$$ and $$\boxed{(1,-4)}$$.
