Question

Writey=1/8 x+7 in standard form using integers.

Answer 1

x - 8y = - 56

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 =
`(1)/(8)` x + 7

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction

8y = x + 56 ( subtract 8y from both sides )

0 = x - 8y + 56 ( subtract 56 from both sides )

- 56 = x - 8y, that is

x - 8y = - 56 ← in standard form
