We have the following:

The first thing is to find the slope of the line, like this:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

replacing:

[tex]m=\frac{2-0}{0-4}=\frac{2}{-4}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

now, the equation has the following form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

for b,

m = -1/2

y = 2

x = 0

replacing:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot0+b \\ b=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation in standard form is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2 \\ y+\frac{1}{2}x=2 \\ 2y+x=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]
