The correct answer is C) y = -4x - 2.

Answer:

C) [tex]y = -4x - 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line in the xy plane is as follows:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line, and [tex]b[/tex] is the intercept with the y axis.

In this case we want a line with a slope of -4, therefore:

[tex]m = -4[/tex]

and we also want a y-intercept of -2, so:

[tex]b = -2[/tex]

Substituting in the general equation of the straight line:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

⇒[tex]y = -4x-2[/tex]

wich is option C
