Subtract from both sides

The slope is and the y-intercept is
---------------------
A negative slope means the line is down on the
right and up on the left.
If you move plus along the x-axis,
you must then move minus on the y-axis
to have slope =
---------------------
Here's the plot:

Transfrom to y = mx+b form
y = -2x + 4
...
slope is -2
y intercept is 4
(0,4)
...
x intercept is
0 = -2x + 4
-4 = -2x
-4/-2 = -2x/-2
x = 2
so, x intercept (2,0)
...
plot intercepts and draw a line through them
