We know that

• The slope is 1/2.

,

• The x-intercept is a (4,0).

To find the equation of this straight line, we have to use the point-slope formula


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Now, we replace all given values


\begin{gathered} y-0=(1)/(2)(x-4) \\ y=(1)/(2)x-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope-intercept form is


y=(1)/(2)x-2
