Question

Y + 2 = -3/4(x+1)
Standard form.

Answer 1

3x + 4y = -11

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Distributive Property

Algebra I

Equality Properties

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

• A, B, and C are integers
• A cannot be negative
• B must be non-zero

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

y + 2 = -3/4(x + 1)

Step 2: Rewrite

Find Standard Form.

1. Distributive -3/4: y + 2 = -3/4x - 3/4
2. Add 3/4x on both sides: 3/4x + y + 2 = -3/4
3. Subtract 2 on both sides: 3/4x + y = -11/4
4. Multiply 4 on both sides: 3x + 4y = -11
