Yes. You need to have the form y = mx + b for slope intercept
-2x + y = -4
y = 2x - 4
slope m = 2
y-intercept (0, -4)
Find another point on the graph by
plugging in a value for x and solving for y
If x= 2, y=2(2)-4 = 0 so the point (2,0) is
on the graph
Plot the two points (0, -4), (2, 0) and draw the line.

Also: From ax + by = c
y-intercept = c/b
-2x + y = -4
c/b = -4/1 = -4
y-intercept: (0, -4)
