Choice A is the correct answer. Rearrange terms.

1. Distribute: $y - 4 = 2x - 2$.
2. Rearrange: Subtract $y$ and add 2 to the right? Or subtract $2x$.

• $-2x + y - 4 = -2$.
• $-2x + y = 2$.
• Multiply by -1: $2x - y = -2$.

💡 Strategic Tip: Check a point. $(1, 4)$ is on the line. $2(1) - 4 = -2$. Correct.

Choice B is incorrect because sign error. Choice C is incorrect because calculation error. Choice D is incorrect because equivalent but A is usually positive.
