the slope-intercept form look like this:
y = mx + b
You need to rearrange the given equation so it matches the slope-intercept form y = mx + b
This is helpful because the letter m = slope of the line and letter b = y-intercept
Start by distributing the -2 on the right side of the equation.
Hope this helps.

That us close but you lost the negative sign.
Y + 4 = -2(x-1)
y + 4 = -2x + 2
y + 4 - 4 = -2x + 2 - 4
y = -2x - 2
