A line passes through the point (2, 9) and has a slope of 1/2. Which option correctly writes the equation of the line in standard form?
y = (1/2)x + 8
-(1/2)x + y = 8
2x - 2y = -16
X - 2y = -16

Start with point-slope: y - 9 = (1/2)(x - 2). So y = (1/2)x + 8. Multiply by 2 to clear the fraction: 2y = x + 16, then rearrange to standard form: x - 2y = -16.

So the correct option is: X - 2y = -16.
