Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line y=1/9 x +5?

Answer 1

Answer: x-9y = -45

Work Shown:

`y = (1)/(9)x+5\\\\9y = x+45\\\\9y-45 = x\\\\-45 = x-9y\\\\x-9y = -45\\\\`

The last equation is in the form Ax+By = C where A = 1, B = -9, C = -45

In the second step, I multiplied each term by 9 to clear out the fraction.
