What is the slope of the equation #y = 4 - 2x#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer A · Stefan V. Mar 24, 2018 #-2# Explanation: Consider the slope-intercept form #y = mx + b# #m# is the slope #b# is the #y#-intercept. Here, #4# is #b# and #-2# is #m#. Therefore, the slope is #-2#.
