Question

Write each equation in standard form using integers?

y = 3x + 1

y = 4x - 7

Answer 1

The standard form of y = 3 x + 1 is -3x + y = 1 .

The standard form of y = 4x - 7 is -4x + y = -7.

Explanation:

Here the given equation are:

y = 3 x + 1

and y = 4x - 7

The above equations are of the form: y = m x + C

Now, the STANDARD FORM of the equation is Ax + By = C

Consider equation 1:

y = 3 x + 1

or, y - 3x = 1

or. -3x + y = 1

⇒ The equation -3x + y = 1 is in STANDARD FORM.

Consider equation 2:

y = 4 x - 7

or, y - 4x = -7

or. -4x + y = -7

⇒ The equation -4x + y = -7 is in STANDARD FORM.
