Answer:

gradient =
(1)/(2) , y- intercept = - 4

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c is the y- intercept )

given

x - 2y = 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 2y = - x + 8 ( divide through by - 2 )

y =
(1)/(2) x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient m =
(1)/(2) and y- intercept c = - 4
