The function


f(x)=-2x+4

Is a linear function, which means it is a straight line. To draw this graph you could find two points that belong to this lines, and draw a straight line that passes through those points. The easiest are the intercepts.

x-intercept:


0=-2x+4\Rightarrow x=2

(2, 0)

y-intercept:


f(0)=4

(0, 4)

The graph of this function looks like this:
