Match each equation to its equivalent equation in slope-intercept form

Y = ½(x + 8) - 2

The equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The given equation is y = ½(x + 8) - 2.

To convert it to slope-intercept form, we distribute the ½ to both terms inside the parentheses:

y = ½x + 4 - 2.

Simplifying further, we combine like terms:

y = ½x + 2.

Therefore, the equivalent equation in slope-intercept form is y = ½x + 2.
