Write the equation 1/2y=4x+2 in standard form. Help?

Yeah, again doing a review from two grades ago and lost. Any links for Algebra I would help and how you do this problem.

Update:

I don't think y=mx+b is standard form. I think standard form is x and y on the same side

    Multiply each term by 2 and collect the variables in the left side, and the constant in the right side.

    -8x+y = 4

    --------------

    Standard form: Ax+By = C, where A, B and C are integers.

    The standard form for an equation is: Ax + By = C. So for your equation, it would be:

    8x - y = -4. Or -8x + y = 4.

    Multiply both sides by 2:

    y = 8x + 4

    standard form is y = mx+b

    Get y alone on one side of the equation. Your example is quite easy.

    Soelo should get credit for the first correct answer.

    m=8 is the slope of the line and b=4 is the intercept.

    multiply both sides by 2, y = 8x + 4
