Answer: B. x+2y=8

Explanation:

The original equation is:

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

The problem asks us to convert the equation in the standard form, so in the form

[tex]ax+by=c[/tex]

with a,b and c being integers.

In order to do that, first of all let's bring on the same side both x and y:

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

Now we want the coefficient in front of x to be an integer, so let's multiply each term by 2, and we get

[tex]2y+x=8[/tex]

and this corresponds to option B.
