Answer:


y = -2x + 4

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way of expressing the equation of a line such that both the slope and the y-intercept are given. The general equation of a line in slope-intercept form is; (
y = mx + b ). Where coefficient (
m ) is the slope of the line, and constant (
b ) is the y-intercept. In this problem, one is given both the slope and the y-intercept, one simply has to substitute in the values.


y = -2x + 4
