Step-by-step explanation:

Start out by using the Distributive Property to convert from Point-Slope Form to Slope-Intercept Form:

y + 2 = −2x + 8

- 2 - 2

______________


\displaystyle y = -2x + 6

Now, starting from the y-intercept of [0, 6], you do
\displaystyle (rise)/(run)by either moving two blocks north over one block west or two blocks south over one block east [west and south are negatives].

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
