Method #1:
Slope:-2;y-intercept:(0,4)
(y-y) = m(x-x) [Use the point-slope formula for the equation of the line]
(y-4) = (-2)(x-0) [Plug-in the values]
y-4 = -2x [Simplify]
y = -2x + 4 [Solve for "y"] [Final answer in slope-intercept form]
.
Method #2:
Slope:-2;y-intercept:(0,4)
y=mx+b [Use the slope-intercept formula for the equation of the line]
y = -2x + 4 [Plug-in the values for the slope and the y-intercept]
