To write the linear equation in standard form, we need to have the variables on one side of the equation and the constant on the other side. So, let's begin by isolating y:
2y = 8
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 4
Now, we can rewrite the equation with the variables on the left side and the constant on the right side:
-2y + 0x = -8
Since 0 multiplied by any number is 0, we can drop the x term. Therefore, the equation in standard form is:
-2y = -8
