Answer:
x - 2y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Given
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 8
Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction
2y = x - 16 ( subtract 2y from both sides )
0 = x - 2y - 16 ( add 16 to both sides )
16 = x - 2y, that is
x - 2y = 16 ← in standard form
