Answer

$y=-2x+4$ slope = -2 y-intercept = 4

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The slope-intercept form of a line's equation is given as $y=mx+b$ where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Subtract $2x$ on both sides of the equation to obtain: $y=4-2x \\y=-2x+4$ The line has a slope of $-2$ and a y-intercept of $4$.
