Slope is $4$ and intercept on $y$ -axis is $-2$ .

In slope intercept form of equation $y=mx+c$ , $m$ is slope and $c$ is intercept on $y$ -axis.

As $y=4x-2$ can be written as $y=4x+(-2)$ . Hence, it's slope is $4$ and intercept on $y$ -axis is $-2$ .

How do you find the slope and intercept of y = 4x - 2y = 4x - 2?
