Go to the right one unit and down two units from the (0,4) point on the y axis.
Your two suggestions (which are really the same) would result in a slope of +2, not -2.
I am having to graph this linear equation. y=-2x+4
This is what I know. The y-intercept is 4 and the slope is -2. So I would start at the y-axis at 4, then would I go down 2 units and over to left one or go up 2 units and to the right one. Don't know how to graph it.

Okay. I had went ahead and done this. I found out that a negative slope the line goes down left to right and a positive slope got up left to right. Thanks for the help.
