The given equation is expressed as

x - y = 4

we need to make y the subject of the equation. We would add y to both sides of the equation. We have

x - y + y = 4 + y

x = 4 + y

We would subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. Wehave

x - 4 = 4 - 4 + y

x - 4 = y

y = x - 4

We would substitute values of x into the equation and find corresponding values of y. we have

If x = - 2, y = - 2 - 4 = - 6

If x = - 1, y = - 1 - 4 = - 5

If x = 0, y = 0 - 4 = - 4

If x = 1, y = 1 - 4 = - 3

If x = 2, y = 2 - 4 = - 2

We would plot the corresponding x and y values on the graph as shown below
