-4x-2=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-4x=-y+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-4x=2-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{2-y}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{2-y}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=\frac{y}{4}-\frac{1}{2}
Divide -y+2 by -4.
y-2=4x
Add 4x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
y=4x+2
Add 2 to both sides.
