Question

What is y = 2/3(x) + 4 written in standard form

Answer 1

2x - 3y = - 12

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)/(3)` x + 4 ( multiply all terms by 3 )

3y = 2x + 12 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

0 = 2x - 3y + 12 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 12 = 2x - 3y, that is

2x - 3y = - 12 ← in standard form
