Question

Write an equation in standard form given: m= -3/4 and b=5.

Answer 1

3x+4y=20

Explanation:

The slope-intercept equation would be:

y=mx+b

y=-3/4(x)+5

But standard form is

ax+by=c

We can obtain this by moving the -3/4(x) to the left side

`(3x)/(4) +y=5`

Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction

3x+4y=20
