Answer 1

The correct answer is
`\ y = (1)/(2)x - 2\).`. So the correct option is B.

To change the equation
`\(x - 2y = 4\)` into slope-intercept form
`(\(y = mx + b\)),`where
`\(m\)` is the slope and
`\(b\)` is the y-intercept, follow these steps:

1. Isolate
`\(y\)`:

Subtract \(x\) from both sides of the equation:

`\[ -2y = -x + 4 \]`

2. Divide by \(-2\):

Divide both sides by
`\(-2\)` to solve for
`\(y\)`

`\[ y = (1)/(2)x - 2 \]`

So, the correct answer is
`\(B) \ y = (1)/(2)x - 2\).`
