Connecting MacBook to iMac has a secondary monitor

Hello, I have a 2018 MacBook Air and a 2017 iMac computer. I want to use my MacBook Air as a secondary screen to my iMac. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the cables I need to connect them because I can't figure it out myself. Thanks!

You can not do that with those Mac’s, because they do not support Target Display Mode.
