Answer:


\large\boxed{y=(1)/(4)x+2}

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The point-slope form of the equation of a line:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

We have the equation of a line:


y-4=(1)/(4)(x-8)\to m=(1)/(4)

and the point (0, 2) → b = 2.

Substitute:


y=(1)/(4)x+2
