Question 505684

y = mx+b


6 = (1/2)(-4)+b


6 = -2+b


6+2 = b


8 = b


b = 8


So the equation of the line is y = (1/2)x+8


Now convert to standard form


y = (1/2)x+8


2y = x+16


2y - x = 16


-x + 2y = 16


x - 2y = -16


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
