You can put this solution on YOUR website!
All you have to do is plug the x value into the equation +y=-x%2B4+.
The x value you gave was -2, so you replace x with -2, which gives you
+y=-%28-2%29%2B4+
Two negatives equal a positive, so
+y=2%2B4+
Obviously, 2+4=6, so
+y=6+
y equals 6.
I hope this helped.
