Question

What is y+1=2(x-4) written in standard form

Answer 1

Awnser: 2x-y=9

Step-by-step solution: y+1=2(x-4), step one simplify the parenthases y+1=2x-8, step two move all variables to one side of the equation, 1=2x-8-y, step three move all constants to the other side, 9=2x-y. And there we have it. And also if you end with more negatives than positives just multiply everything by negative one.

Answer 2

2x - y = 9

Explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

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

Rearrange y + 1 = 2(x - 4) into this form

y + 1 = 2x - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

y + 9 = 2x ( subtract y from both sides )

9 = 2x - y ⇒ 2x - y = 9 ← in standard form
