To express the equation in slope-intercept form (which is \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept), we need to rearrange the given equation \(y - \frac{1}{2}(x - 8)\).

Starting with the given equation:

\[
y - \frac{1}{2}(x - 8)
\]

We can distribute \(-\frac{1}{2}\) over \((x - 8)\):

\[
y - \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
y - \frac{1}{2}x + 4
\]

Now, add \(\frac{1}{2}x\) to both sides to isolate \(y\):

\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4 + 4
\]

Simplifying gives us:

\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4
\]

So, in slope-intercept form, the equation is:

\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4
\]

- Slope (\(m\)) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- Y-intercept (\(b\)) = \(4\)

The equation you provided is already in slope-intercept form, which is given by the equation \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

For the equation:

\[
y = \frac{3}{2}x + 1
\]

- **Slope (\(m\))**: \(\frac{3}{2}\)
- **Y-intercept (\(b\))**: \(1\)

This means that the slope of the line is \(\frac{3}{2}\), indicating that for every increase of 1 in \(x\), \(y\) increases by \(\frac{3}{2}\). The line crosses the y-axis at the point \((0, 1)\).

The equations \(y = 5\) and \(y = -7\) represent horizontal lines.

### For \(y = 5\):
- **Slope (\(m\))**: 0 (the line is horizontal)
- **Y-intercept (\(b\))**: 5 (the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 5))

### For \(y = -7\):
- **Slope (\(m\))**: 0 (again, the line is horizontal)
- **Y-intercept (\(b\))**: -7 (the line crosses the y-axis at (0, -7))

### Summary:
- Both lines have a slope of 0, indicating they are horizontal.
- \(y = 5\) is a horizontal line that is 5 units above the x-axis.
- \(y = -7\) is a horizontal line that is 7 units below the x-axis.

The equation \(y = -x + 3\) is already in slope-intercept form, which is given by \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

### For the equation \(y = -x + 3\):

- **Slope (\(m\))**: \(-1\) (This means that for every increase of 1 in \(x\), \(y\) decreases by 1.)
- **Y-intercept (\(b\))**: \(3\) (The point where the line crosses the y-axis is at (0, 3).)

### Summary:
- The slope of the line is \(-1\), indicating a downward slope.
- The line crosses the y-axis at the point \((0, 3)\).

The equation \(y = 6x - 13\) is already in slope-intercept form, which is given by \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

### For the equation \(y = 6x - 13\):

- **Slope (\(m\))**: \(6\) (This means that for every increase of 1 in \(x\), \(y\) increases by \(6\).)
- **Y-intercept (\(b\))**: \(-13\) (The point where the line crosses the y-axis is at \((0, -13)\).)

### Summary:
- The slope of the line is \(6\), indicating a steep upward slope.
- The line crosses the y-axis at the point \((0, -13)\).
