Answer:

see below for a graph

Explanation:

The equation is written in point-slope form. It tells you the line has a slope of -4 and goes through the point (-2, 6).

Plot that point on the coordinate plane. Another point on the line will have a "rise" of -4 for each "run" of 1. If we choose a run of 2, then the rise will be -8. A second point could be ...

original point + (2, -8)

(-2, 6) +(2, -8) = (0, -2)

The line can be drawn through these two points to create your graph.
