Answer:

$\text{The equation of line is }y=-2x+4$

Explanation:

Given the values of m=-2, b=4

we have to write an equation of line with above values.

As the general equation of straight line is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is y-intercept

Substitute the values of m and b in above equation

m=-2, b=4, we get

y=-2x+4

which is the required equation of line.
