To write the equation of the line, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is:

\[ v = mx + b \]

where:
- \( v \) is the volume,
- \( m \) is the slope,
- \( x \) is the number of marbles,
- \( b \) is the vertical intercept.

From your information:
- The slope \( m = \frac{1}{2} \)
- The vertical intercept \( b = 8 \)

Substituting these values into the equation gives us:

\[ v = \frac{1}{2}x + 8 \]

So, the equation that represents the relationship between the volume, \( v \), and the number of marbles, \( x \), is:

\[ v = \frac{1}{2}x + 8 \]
