#y=(-2)x+b# for any constant #b#

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form (for example) is
#color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)mx+color(blue)b#
(where #color(blue)b# is the value of the y-intercept).

Sample equations that would meet your requirement:
#color(white)("XXX")y=-2x+7#

#color(white)("XXX")y=-2x-84#

#color(white)("XXX")y=-2x#
#color(white)("XXXXXXXXX")#this would be the same as #y=-2x+0#
