Divide both sides by 2.

2y is the same as 2*y (two times y). To undo the multiplication of 2, we divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.

Divide both sides by 2

is in the form where m = 5 is the slope and b = -4 is the y intercept

So the slope is 5 and the y intercept is -4, which means the graph crosses through (0,-4)
