Answer

Slope-intercept Form: $y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4$ Standard Form: $x+2y=8$

Work Step by Step

Using $y=mx+b$ or the Slope-Intercept Form of linear equations, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$-intercept, the equation of the line, given $ m=-\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ and } b=4 ,$ is \begin{align*} y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4 \end{align*} In the form $Ax+By=C$ or the Standard Form of Linear Equations, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} 2(y)&=\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4\right)2 \\\\ 2y&=-x+8 \\ x+2y&=8 \end{align*}
