See the explanation.

Explanation:

y=-x-4y=x4 is in the slope-intercept form for a linear equation, y=mx+by=mx+b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept. In the given equation, m=-1m=1 and b=-4b=4.

To make a table to graph, give various values to xx and solve for yy.

Ordered Pairs
xcolor(white)(........)y
4color(white)(....)-8
2color(white)(....)-6
0color(white)(....)-4
-2color(white)(.)-2
-4color(white)(.....)0

Plot each ordered pair and draw a straight line through the points.
