Question

Convert y - 2 = -4(x - 12) to standard form.

Answer 1

The answer is 4x+y=50.
To solve this, first you have to expand the right side of the equation. This leaves you with y-2= -4x+48.
Then, you add two to both sides of the equation leaving you with y= -4x+50.
Finally, you add 4x to both sides of the equation leaving you with 4x+y=50.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Answer 2

Hello, there!



`y - 2 = -4(x - 12)`

First, let's simplify the right side by using the distributive property.

-4 * x = -4x

-4 * -12 = 48

Now, we have:


`y - 2 = -4x + 48`

Now, let's the equation to make the right side only contain y.


`y - 2 = -4x + 48`
+2 +2

Now, we have:

`y = -4x + 50`

Finally, to make this equation standard form (
`Ax + By = C`), we must add 4x to each side



`y = -4x + 50`
+4x +4x

Our final answer is:


`4x + y = 50`

This means that the correct answer is A.
