Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

Given that


4x+2y=8

To express in slope-intercept form: y = mx +c

Where

m =slope

c = y-intercept

Thus

We will have


\begin{gathered} Making\text{ y the subject} \\ 2y=-4x+8 \end{gathered}

Simplifying further


\begin{gathered} y=-(4x)/(2)+(8)/(2) \\ \\ y=-2x+4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form will be y = -2x + 4
