The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we need to identify the problem.

Y= -X-4

We can tell already from this that the X is going to be negative.

If X=-2

Now we can change the problem to:

Y= -2-4

And can even change it to

-2-4

Well the way I learned it

A negative number minus a negative number is a negative number

A positive number minus a positive number is a positive number

Simple Right?

So what's a negative number minus a positive number?

Its a negative number!

So the answer is -6
