Slope form is y=mx+b
Y=2x-4
m=2, b= -4

Answer: y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation: In slope-intercept form or y = mx + b form,

the y is isolated or by itself on the left side of the equation.

So start by subtracting 4x from both sides.

That gives us -2y = 4x - 8.

Notice I put the x term first because in y = mx + b form,

the x term comes first on the left side of the equation.

From here, we divide both sides by -2 to get y = -2x + 4.
