Answer:

The standard form of the equation of the line is -x +2\cdot y = -10.

Explanation:

From Analytical Geometry, we find that the standard form of the equation of the line is:

A\cdot x + B\cdot y = C (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.

y - Dependent variable.

Besides, a line can be defined by the following formula:

y = m\cdot x + b (2)

Where:

m - Slope.

b - Intercept.

By direct comparison, we find the following relationships:

B\cdot y = -A\cdot x + C

y = -\frac{A}{B} \cdot x + \frac{C}{B}

m = - \frac{A}{B} (3)

b = \frac{C}{B} (4)

If we know that (x,y) = (-2,-4) and m = \frac{1}{2}, then the intercept of the equation is:

b = y-m\cdot x

b = -4+\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)\cdot (-2)

b = -5

If B = 2, then A = -1 and C = -10, and the standard form of the equation is:

-x +2\cdot y = -10 (5)
