Answer:

a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax − 4 = 2y

We need to get the equation is slope intercept form  y= mx+b.

Lets solve for y

Divide each side by 2

a/2 x - 4/2 = 2y/2

a/2 x -2 = y

or y=a/2 x -2

The slope is a/2 and the y intercept is -2

We want a slope of 2  so a/2 =2

a/2=2

Multiply each side by 2

a/2 * 2 =2*2

a =4
