Well from the equation 4x - 2y = -8 we need to find the slope first and that is 2 ( 4x - 2y = -8) -------------------- Then find the Y-intercept and X-intercept which is 4 and -2 (4x - 2y = -8) (4x - 2y = -8) ---------------------- Since we already have the slope our equation so far is y = 2x + M And since we have out Y-intercept you replace 4 for m y = 2x + 4 is your answer
