Question

Write the equation in standard form.
y - 2 = -(x +4)

Answer 1

x + y = - 2

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 - 2 = - (x + 4) ← distribute by - 1

y - 2 = - x - 4 ( add x to both sides )

x + y - 2 = - 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x + y = - 2 ← in standard form
