C. The slope is –4 and the y-intercept is 2.

Explanation:

Given equation is,

Which is the equation of a line,

Since, the slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line,

By comparing,

m = -4,

⇒ The slope of the given equation is -4,

Now, for the y-intercept, x = 0,

⇒ y = -4(0) + 2 = 2,

Hence, the y-intercept of the given equation is 2.

Option 'C' is correct.
