Question

Put the equation in standard form with a positive X coefficient. y + 3 = -5(x+1) ​

Answer 1

5x + y = - 8

Explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

given

y + 3 = - 5(x + 1) ← distribute

y + 3 = - 5x - 5 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + y + 3 = - 5 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5x + y = - 8 ← in standard form
