it simple rise over run: -1 go down one over 4 right or the other way around go up 1 and left 4 either way would work your y intercept is -4 because that is the point crossing the y-axis hope i helped!
In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
