Since the equation is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we can identify the slope as -2 and the y-intercept as -20 (5 = -2(-4) + b).
To graph the equation, we first plot the y-intercept at -20 on the y-axis. From there, we use the slope of -2 to find another point on the line. The slope tells us to move 2 units down and 1 unit to the right from the y-intercept. Plot this point as well.
Next, draw a straight line through both points to represent the graph of the equation y + 5 = -2(x - 4).
