Answer:The equation that represents a slope of -4 and y-intercept of (0,2) is:

Explanation:

The equation of a line can be described by a first order equation in the following format:

In which a is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Solution:

The problem states that the slope is -4, so:

y intercept is 2, so

The equation that represents a slope of -4 and y-intercept of (0,2) is:

Why the others are wrong?

Here, the slope is -2, and the y intercept is (0,0).

For this option, the slope is -2 and the y intercept is (0,-4).

Finally, here we have a slope of 4 and y intercept of (0,2). The y-intercept is what we want, but not the slope
