Given the equation 2x-42x4 is an equation of a line in the form y=mx+by=mx+b, where mm refers to the slope of the line, bb refers to the y-intercept, and xx and yy refer to any respective coordinate (x,y)(x,y) on the line.

For this line, our slope is 22, and the y-intercept is (0,-4)(0,4)

Now graphically, ever other point on the line is up by 22 units and right by 11 unit. You can see it on the graph below.
