Question

Given the equation Y -4 equals three force X +8 in point slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form

Answer 1

3x - y = -28

Explanation:

Given the equation y-4 = 3(x+8), distribute and simplify to get the Standard Form.

y-4 = 3(x+8)

y - 4 = 3x + 24

y = 3x + 28

-3x + y = 28

Standard form does not allow the coefficient of x to be negative so multiply the equation by -1.

3x - y = -28
