$y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 2$ $y=-1/2x+2$

Explanation:

Slope intercept form can be represented as $y = m x + b$ $y=mx +b$
To get an equation into this form, we should try to get $y$ $y$ all alone.

From $x + 2 y = 4$ $x+2y=4$
first, we can subtract $x$ $x$ from both sides
and get $2 y = - x + 4$ $2y = -x + 4$
then, we can divide both sides by $2$ $2$
to get $\Rightarrow y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 2$ $=>y=-1/2x+2$
which is now in slope intercept form :)
