Answer

y = (-x/6) + 4

Comparing with y = mx + c

Slope = (-1/6)

Intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to put the given equation of a straight line in the slope-intercept form

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + c

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

c = y-intercept of the line.

The expression is,

⅓(x) + 2y = 8

Divide through by 2

½ (x/3) + (2y/2) = (8/2)

(x/6) + y = 4

y = (-x/6) + 4

Hope this Helps!!!
