To rewrite the equation y = -1/2x - 4 in the Ax + By = C form, we need to eliminate the fraction and rearrange the equation.
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
2y = -1x - 8
2. Rearrange the equation to have the x term before the y term:
x + 2y = -8
Now we have the equation in the desired Ax + By = C form.
The rewritten equation is:
x + 2y = -8
